Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
−2(4k−7)=22−8k
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−2(4k−7)=22−8k
(−2)(4k)+(−2)(−7)=22+−8k(Distribute)
−8k+14=22+−8k
−8k+14=−8k+22
Step 2: Add 8k to both sides.
−8k+14+8k=−8k+22+8k
14=22
Step 3: Subtract 14 from both sides.
14−14=22−14
0=8
So, the answer is 0=8.
Answer:
They are any number in front of a variable so like 4x 7y or 8z. 4, 7 and 8 are the coefficients. A number by itself is a constant. For example 3, 1 and 9 are constants.
1) -3(5x+2y=-3)⇒ -15x-6y=9
⇒ -9x=27
2(3x+3y=9)⇒ 6x+6y=18
2) -9x/-9=27/-9 ⇒ x=-3
3) 3(-3)+3y=9⇒ -9+9+3y=9+9⇒ 3y/3=18/3⇒ y=6
Answer: (-3,6)
Reasoning:
Step 1) In order to eliminate, first I had to multiple the first equation by -3 and the second by 2 so that when combining the equations y would cancel each other out so that I could solve for x. <em>Note: There are many combinations as to how you could multiple the equations so that either the x or y would cancel out.
</em>
Step 2) Once y is eliminated, solve for x.
Step 3) Now plug x back into one of the original equations and solve for y. <em>Note: Plug x back into one of the original equations, not the equations that were changed by multiplication,</em>
-3(2x-3)<3
(-3(2x-3))(-1)<3(-1)
3(2x-3)>-3
(3(2x-3))/3>-3/3
2x-3>-1
2x-3+3>-1+3
2x>2
2x/2>2/2
x>1
