Answer:
x=2/5 or 0.4
Step-by-step explanation:
6x-2=-4x+2
+4x to both sides
6x+4x-2=2 .
10x=2x+2x
10x=4
Answer:
The solution is (8, -1).
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 4y = 12..........(1)
y = 1/4x – 3 ..........(2)
Substitute y = x - 3 in equation (1):
2x + 4(1/4x - 3) = 12
2x + x - 12 = 12
3x = 24
x = 8.
Now substitute for x in equation (2):
y = 1/4 *8 - 3
y = -1.
6 - a =

(9a - 18)
First, simplify

to

/ Your problem should look like:
Second, multiply both sides by 3. / Your problem should look like:
Third, expand. / Your problem should look like:
Fourth, add 3a to both sides. / Your problem should look like:
Fifth, simplify 9a - 18 + 3a to 12a - 18. / Your problem should look like:
Sixth, add 18 to both sides. / Your problem should look like:
Seventh, add 18 + 18 to get 36. / Your problem should look like:
Eighth, divide both sides by 12. / Your problem should look like:
Ninth, since 3 goes into 12 to get 36, simplify

to 3. / Your problem should look like:
Tenth, switch sides. / Your problem should look like:

Answer:
a = 3 (one solution)

she should have invested P, in order to get I = 6500
but she instead invested 17,801, how much more did she need? well, P - 17801
solve for P
