Answer:
x = 4 - 1 = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
2(4 - y) + 3y = 9
8 - 2y + 3y =9
8 + y = 9
y = 1
If the equation is 4x+1/3=20, your answer would be x=59/12.
- You would subtract 1/3 from each side. (1/3 - 1/3) (20-1/3)
- Then your new equation would be 4x = 59/3
- You would divide 4 from each side (4/4) (59/3 / 4)
- x = 59/12
Equation: SOLVE
Solution for 10=4(x-1)-(x-8) equation:
Simplifying
10 = 4(x + -1) + -1(x + -8)
Reorder the terms:
10 = 4(-1 + x) + -1(x + -8)
10 = (-1 * 4 + x * 4) + -1(x + -8)
10 = (-4 + 4x) + -1(x + -8)
Reorder the terms:
10 = -4 + 4x + -1(-8 + x)
10 = -4 + 4x + (-8 * -1 + x * -1)
10 = -4 + 4x + (8 + -1x)
Reorder the terms:
10 = -4 + 8 + 4x + -1x
Combine like terms: -4 + 8 = 4
10 = 4 + 4x + -1x
Combine like terms: 4x + -1x = 3x
10 = 4 + 3x
Solving
10 = 4 + 3x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.
10 + -3x = 4 + 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0
10 + -3x = 4 + 0
10 + -3x = 4
Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + -10 + -3x = 4 + -10
Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + -3x = 4 + -10
-3x = 4 + -10
Combine like terms: 4 + -10 = -6
-3x = -6
Divide each side by '-3'.
x = 2
Simplifying
x = 2
False should be the answer
