<em>2 x - 5 = 4 x - 1 
combine variables and constants we get
2 x - 4 x = -1 + 5
- 2 x = 4 
dividing - 2 on other side
x = 4 / - 2 
x = - 2 answer...

The sum of two numbers is 30. Their difference is 12. Use substitution to solve a system of equations to solve for the two numbe
denpristay [2]

Answer:

9 and 21

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>setting up the equation</u>

let x and y represent the two numbers

this means that x + y = 30

x - y = 12

<u>using substitution to solve</u>

if x - y = 12, that can be rearranged to x = y + 12.

substitute x = y + 12 into x + y = 30

you get (y + 12) + y = 30

simplify

2y + 12 = 30

2y = 18

y = 9

plug this into the original equation x + y = 30. this would be

x + 9 = 30

x = 21

the numbers are 21 and 9.

(07.03 MC) An equation is shown below: 9(3x − 16) + 15 = 6x − 24 Part A: Write the steps you will use to solve the equation, and
Alik [6]

Answer: See steps and explanation below. The value 5 makes the equation true.

9(3x - 16) + 15 = 6x - 24                Distributive Property

27x - 144 + 15 = 6x - 24                Combine like terms

27x - 129 = 6x - 24                       Subtract 6x from both sides

21x - 129 = -24                              Add 129 to both sides

21x = 105                                      Divide both sides by 21

x = 5                                             Answer!
