If 4y = 3x - 1, then x = ?
1 answer:
Answer:
The goal is to isolate the X value. So the first step would be to add 1 to both sides, making the equation 4y + 1 = 3x.
Then you divide both sides by 3, making the equation (4y + 1)/3 = x
If you have a Y value then you'd plug it in for Y and solve for x but since there isn't one provided you're done.

Hi there,
Your question is "twice a number (x) is fifty"
Recall how a number is represented by x.
Twice a number would be represented as 2x.
Therefore, to represent that twice a number is equal to 50, that would result in the expression:
If you're looking to solve this equation, it's often best to think about the "reverse" of the current equation.
Notice how 2 is multiplying the x.
To isolate x, divide that side by 2.
However, recall that whatever is done to one side of an equation must also be done to the other side of the equation. Therefore, you will need to divide both sides by 2.
Equation:
Solving for x: 25
Hope that helps!
