2x + x - 18 = -30 - x

Lets say the number is x. The formula would be:
2x + x - 18 = x -30
To find x, you have to get rid of everything els, so minus x from both sides.
2x - 18 = -30
Since -30 is the smallest number, you get rid of that next. Add 30 to both sides
2x + 12 = 0
Now get rid of +12 by doing -12.
2x = -12
divide both sides by 2 to get x by itself
x = -6.

To double check your answer, do the reverse. Substitute -6 iinto the equation wherever it says x.

2x + x - 18 = x -30 becomes (2 x -6) + (-6 - 18) = -6 - 30.
Use BIDMAS (Brackets Indices Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction) to get your answer. Brackets are first
-12 + -24 = -6 - 30
-36 = -6 - 30 which is basically -36 = -36

the length of a soccer pitch is 20 m less than twice its width. the area of the pitch is 6000m^2. find its dimensions.
Setler79 [48]
X=width of a coccer pitch
2x-20=length of a soccer pitch
Area (rectangule)=length x width
We suggest this equation:
x(2x-20)=6000
2x²-20x=6000
2x²-20x-6000=0
x²-10x-3000=0
We solve this quadratic equation:

x=[10⁺₋√(100-4*1*-3000)]/2=[10⁺₋√(100+12000)]/2=
=(10⁺₋110)/2
we have two solutions:
x₁=(10-110)/2=-50, invalid solution.
x₂=(10+110)/2=60

x=60
2x-20=2(60)-20=120-20=100

Solution: the length is 100 m, and the width is 60 m.

To check:
Area=100 m*60 m=6000 m²
The twice of width is =2(60 m)=120 m,
20 m less than twice its width is: 120 m-20 m=100 m=the length.
