Solve x+8y/4=9y for x

Mathematics
2 answers:
nikklg [1K]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 7y

Step-by-step explanation:

x+8y/4=9y

Multiply each side by 4 to get rid of the fractions

4(x+8y/4)=9y*4

Distribute

4x +8y = 36y

Subtract 8y from each side

4x +8y-8y = 36y-8y

4x = 28y

Divide each side by 4

4x/4 = 28y/4

x = 7y

x+8y/4=9y

Multiply each side by 4

4(x+8y/4)=9y*4

=>4x +8y = 36y

Subtract 8y from each side

=>4x +8y-8y = 36y-8y

=4x = 28y

Divide each side by 4

=>4x/4 = 28y/4

x = 7y

Rewrite the expression with the given base. <br><br> 16^x with a base of 2.
olga55 [171]
Keeping in mind that 16 = 2*2*2*2, thus 16 = 2⁴

\bf 16^x\implies (2^4)^x\implies 2^{4\cdot x}\implies 2^{4x}

Andrea wanted to calculate 5% of 300, so she multiplied 300 by 0.5 (300 x 0.5).
Mars2501 [29]
This is because Andrea converted the Percentage wrong.
to Convert a Percent to a Decimal, she should have divided by 100
so  5 divided by 100 = 0.05  [not 0.5]
Andrea should have multiplied 300 by 0.05 instead to get the right answer

quickly finding 10% of a number means to simply move the decimal to the left one place
so  10% of 300 is 30

since  5% is half of 10%
half of 30 is 15

and so  5% of 300 is 15

Explain why the steps for solving equations are usually given as removing grouping symbols first, even though it is not necessar
finlep [7]
This is because simplifying the equation before solving it will lead you to the answer at a much faster rate. For example, in the given equation, the long way would be to distribute 2 to (x+3). Then, you transpose them and combine like terms. Until you get to x + 3 = 8. But if you simplify it first, you will see that it is straightforward. It will lead you to the answer right away which is x + 3 = 8. It saves you from the hassle of doing more algebra :)
