What is the solution to the following question

Mathematics
1 answer:
Anastaziya [24]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x + 1) = 3(5 - x) + 2

Distribute,

2(x + 1) = 3(5 - x) + 2

2x + 2 = 3(5 - x) + 2

Rearrange terms,

2x + 2 = 3(5 - x) + 2

2x + 2 = 3(-x + 5) + 2

Distribute,

2x + 2 = 3(-x + 5) + 2

2x + 2 = -3x + 15 + 2

Add the numbers,

2x + 2 = -3x + 15 + 2

2x + 2 = -3x + 17

Subtract 2 from both sides,

2x + 2 = -3x + 17

2x + 2 - 2 = -3x + 17 - 2

2x  = -3x + 17 - 2

2x  = -3x + 15

Add 3x to both sides,

2x  = -3x + 15

2x + 3x  = -3x + 3x + 15

5x  = -3x + 3x + 15

5x  =  15

Divide both sides by the same factor (15),

5x  =  15

5x/5 = 15/5

x = 15/5

x = 3

Hence, the answer is 3.

X y
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

a = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

If the rate of change is -8, subtract 8 from your y value of 27. And if 19 is correct, you should be able to subtract 8, and get 11 as the next number in the function, which you do, so 19 is the value of a.

4x+1=9+4y please help me solve for x please show step by step I’m very confused
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

<em>x - y = 2</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, you would combine like terms, giving you 4x - 4y + 1 = 9.

Next, subtract the numbers, which gives you 4x - 4y = 8.

Finally, divide both sides by 4, which will come to the conclusion of x - y = 2, the simplest form of which this equation can be broken down to.
