HEY There,

15-2x=3x

bring 2x to the right hand side

15 = 3x + 2x

15 = 5x

then, bring 5 to the denominator

15/5 = x

3 = x

HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3) 15 - 2x = 3x

Add 2x to both sides so only one side contains the variable x.

15 = 5x

Divide both sides by 5.

x = 3; if you want to check your solution then plug x back into the original equation.

15 - 2(3) = 3(3)

15 - 6 = 9 ⇒ 9 = 9 so this would be true, your answer is correct.

____________________________________________________________

15) 10(2y + 2) - y = 2(8y - 8)

Distribute 10 and 2 inside their respective parentheses.

(20y + 20) - y = (16y - 16)

Combine like terms on the left side of the equation.

19y + 20 = 16y - 16

Subtract 16y from both sides.

3y + 20 = -16

Subtract 20 from both sides.

3y = -36

Divide both sides by 3.

y = -12

What is 4 3/8 - 2 2/3
docker41 [41]
6/3 + 2/3 = (6 + 2)/3:
4 + 3/8 - (6 + 2)/3

6 + 2 = 8:
4 + 3/8 - 8/3

Put 4 + 3/8 - 8/3 over the common denominator 24. 4 + 3/8 - 8/3 = (24×4)/24 + (3×3)/24 + (8 (-8))/24:
(24×4)/24 + (3×3)/24 + (8 (-8))/24

24×4 = 96:
96/24 + (3×3)/24 + (8 (-8))/24

3×3 = 9:
96/24 + 9/24 + (8 (-8))/24

8 (-8) = -64:
96/24 + 9/24 + (-64)/24

96/24 + 9/24 - 64/24 = (96 + 9 - 64)/24:
(96 + 9 - 64)/24
