I have 3 equations 9x+6, 2(5x-3) and 5y+14 how do i solve for x?

1 answer:

8 0

Set the equation equal to zero.

9x+6=0
Subtract 6 from both sides
9x = -6
Divide both sides by 9
x=-6/9
or -2/3

2(5x-3)=0
Distribute
10x-6=0
add 6 to both sides
10x=6
Divide by 10 on both sides
x=6/10 or 4/5

5y+14=0
-14 from both sides
5y=-14
divide both sides by 5
y=-14/5
or -2 and 4/5

How many solutions does the following equation have? 3x + 6 = 3(x + 2)

kow [346]

3x+6=3(x+2)
3x+6=3x+6
minus 6 both sides
3x=3x
divide by 3
x=x

true

therefor all numbers work for x

there are infinite soltuions

Create an equivalent system of these equations and test your solution x + y = 1 x 3y =9

ad-work [718]

An equvilent equation
remember you can do anything to an equation as long asyou do it to both sides

assuming yo have
x+y=1 and
x-3y=9
mulitply both by 2
2x+2y=2
2x-6y=18
those are equvilent

ok, solve initial

x+y=1
x-3y=9
multiply first equation by -1 and add to 2nd equation

-x-y=-1
x-3y=9 +
0x-4y=8

-4y=8
divide both sides by -4
y=-2

sub back
x+y=1
x-2=1
add 2
x=3

x=3
y=-2
(3,-2)

if we test it in other one

2x+2y=2
2(3)+2(-2)=2
6-4=2
2=2
yep

2x-6y=18
2(3)-6(-2)=18
6+12=18
18=18
yep

solution is (3,-2)
