Hello there!

3x - 1 = 2x - 1

Start by subtracting 2x on both sides

3x - 1 - 2x = 2x - 1 - 2x

x - 1 = - 1

Then add 1 on both sides

x - 1 + 1 = -1 + 1

x = 0


I hope this helps!

As always, it is my pleasure to help students like you.

Your Question : Find X in 3x - 1 = 2x - 1
======================================================================
SOLVING.....

<span>3x − 1 = 2x − 1

Subtract 2x from each side
</span><span>3x − 1 − 2x </span>= <span><span>2x − 1 </span>− <span>2x
</span></span>x − 1 = <span>−<span>1
</span></span>
Add 1 to each side
<span><span>x − 1 </span>+ 1 </span>= <span>−1 + 1
</span>x = 0
====================================================================
CHECKING.....

Substitute 0 for x in <span>3x − 1 = 2x − 1
</span><span>3(0) − 1 = 2(0) − 1
0 - 1 = 0 - 1
-1 = -1
This is true so x does equal 0</span>

Tobin is solving the equation 3(x - 1.25) = 11.25. His work is shown below.
castortr0y [4]

Answer: In the last steps, instead of multiply each side by 3, he has to divide each side by 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, Tobin makes the mistake in the last steps.

3(x-1.25) = 11.25  

3x-3.75= 11.25  

3x-3.75+3.75= 11.25+3.75  

3x = 15

Until this step is the work ok.

Now, instead of multiply each side by 3, he has to divide each side by 3:

So:

3x /3 = 15/3

x = 5

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Consider the graph.
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

C, f(x) = 2x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to plug in the values of the x coordinates and see if it matches with the y coordinate to determine if it is on the same line. Startin with 2x + 8, we have the point (1, 8) on the graph. Plugging in 1 gets you 10 for the y. This is wrong since 8 is the y coordinate. Moving on, we have 6.4(1.25)^x for the same point. Plugging in 1, we have 6.4 * 1.25 = 8, which is true. Moving on to the second point, (2, 10), we have 1.25 squared times 6.4. This is thus wrong. So, moving on to 2x + 6, we have the point (1, 8), and plugging in 1 for x, we have 8 as y. Since this satisfies the equation we move on to the next point, (2,10). Plugging in x, we have 2 * 2 + 6 = 10, which is also true. Moving on to our third point (3 , 12), we plug in 3 for x. We then get 3 * 2 + 6 = 12, which is correct. This, is our answer then.

Divide:5.52 x 1031.2 x 105Write your answer in scientific notation. For example, you'd enter 2.3*10^4 for 2.3 x 104
IrinaK [193]

The question can be solved as follows:

\frac{5.52\times10^3}{1.2\times10^5}=\frac{5.52}{1.2}\times10^{-2}=4.6\times10^{-2}

Hence the value of the given expression in scientific notation is expressed as:

\frac{5.52\times10^3}{1.2\times10^5}=4.6\times10^{-2}
