Try to get all your like terms to the same side. for example get all your x values to the left side and all your number values to the right side.

5 + 2x = 8x - 4
2x - 8x = - 4 - 5
      -6x = -9
          x = -9/-6
          x = 1.5  or 1 1/2




hope this helps and have a great day! :)

5 + 2x = 8x - 4

Subtract 5 from both sides, as well as subtracting 8x from both sides.

2x-8x=-4-5

Add like terms.

-6x=-9

Divide both sides by -6.

x = 3/2, or 1 1/2

First you find how much the shape has dilated. To d ok that you divide the size of the size already given to you from the bigger shape from the same did if the smaller shape. So 58÷6=9.7. The shape grew by 9.7. To find x you use the similar side of the other shape again and multiy that size by 9.7. So 9.7×3=29.1

x=29.1

Can someone help me solve these two problems? i need to find what x is.
Bond [772]

Answer:

1. x=2

2. x= 0.33

Step-by-step explanation:

1.So to start off you have a coefficient for 2 so you have to find what 2 to the power of 2 is =4 so then you have your new problem 4x+5=13 next you need to get 4x by itself so

-5 -5

then you have 4x=8. you divide by 4 on both sides

4. 4

so then you get x=2

2.So same here find what 3 to the power of 2 is =9

New equation 4x-1=9x+4x-4. Then combine like terms on the right you cant do it on the left because that is a separate part and those dont merge like terms so

9x+4x = 13x

new equation. 4x-1=13x-4

next subtract 4x on both sides

13x-4x=9x

new equation. -1=9x-4

next add 4 to both sides

-1+4= 3

new equation. 3=9x

so then divide 9 on both sides

3÷9= 0.33

x= 0.33

Hope this made sense and helps
