(1, 1), 5 + 2 = 7, not that hard!
Answer:
The first one is equivalent [the 6x+48 = 2(3x+24)] and the second one is <u>NOT</u> equivalent [the 7x+21 ≠ 2(5x+3)]
Step-by-step explanation:
Just follow distributive property to solve these. You can ignore the first expression in both until you have to compare the answers.
1. 6x+48 and 2(3x+24)
2(3x+24) ---> 2(3x) + 2(24) ---> <u>6x + 48</u>
Bring in the first expression ~ <u>6x+48 and 6x+48 </u>
They are the same, so they are equivalent
2. 7x+21 and 2(5x+3)
2(5x+3) ---> 2(5x) + 2(3) ----> 10x + 6
Bring in the first expression ~ <u>7x+21 and 10x + 6</u>
They are NOT the same, so they are NOT equivalent
The first step of solving this problem is to find your x, which is the unknown number. The unknown number is the age of Max. Once you find the x you can write out your equation.
The equation for this problem is:
2x+8=26
the first step is to subtract 8 from both sides so that all you have on the left side is 2x and your equation will look like ths:
2x=18
after subtracting the 8; divide everything by the coefficient of x which is 2, your result is:
x=9
Max is 9 years old.
.6k+.9=1.6
.6k=.7
k=7/6= 1 1/6
k= 1 1/6
Hope this helps.
