Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2.5(6x−4)=10+4(1.5+0.5x)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2.5(6x−4)=10+4(1.5+0.5x)

(2.5)(6x)+(2.5)(−4)=10+(4)(1.5)+(4)(0.5x)(Distribute)

15x+−10=10+6+2x

15x−10=(2x)+(10+6)(Combine Like Terms)

15x−10=2x+16

15x−10=2x+16

Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides.

15x−10−2x=2x+16−2x

13x−10=16

Step 3: Add 10 to both sides.

13x−10+10=16+10

13x=26

Step 4: Divide both sides by 13.

13x

13

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

2.5(6x-4)=10+4(1.5+0.5x)

Rewrite the equation using fractions:

\frac{5}{2} (6x-4)=10+4(\frac{3}{2} +\frac{1}{2} x)

Expand out terms of the left hand side and right hand side using distributive propierty:

\frac{30}{2} x-\frac{20}{2} =10+\frac{12}{2} +\frac{4}{2}x \\15x-10=10+6+2x

Grouping like terms subtracting 2x from both sides and adding 10 to both sides:

15x-2x-10+10=6+10+10+2x-2x\\15x-2x=6+10+10\\13x=26

Finally, divide both sides by 13

\frac{13}{13} x=\frac{26}{13} \\x=2

For which system of equations is (5, 3) the solution? A. 3x – 2y = 9 3x + 2y = 14 B. x – y = –2 4x – 3y = 11 C. –2x – y = –13 x
Alla [95]
The <u>correct answer</u> is:

D) \left \{ {{2x-y=7} \atop {2x+7y=31}} \right..

Explanation:

We solve each system to find the correct answer.

<u>For A:</u>
\left \{ {{3x-2y=9} \atop {3x+2y=14}} \right.

Since we have the coefficients of both variables the same, we will use <u>elimination </u>to solve this.  

Since the coefficients of y are -2 and 2, we can add the equations to solve, since -2+2=0 and cancels the y variable:
\left \{ {{3x-2y=9} \atop {+(3x+2y=14)}} \right. &#10;\\&#10;\\6x=23

Next we divide both sides by 6:
6x/6 = 23/6
x = 23/6

This is <u>not the x-coordinate</u> of the answer we are looking for, so <u>A is not correct</u>.

<u>For B</u>:
\left \{ {{x-y=-2} \atop {4x-3y=11}} \right.

For this equation, it will be easier to isolate a variable and use <u>substitution</u>, since the coefficient of both x and y in the first equation is 1:
x-y=-2

Add y to both sides:
x-y+y=-2+y
x=-2+y

We now substitute this in place of x in the second equation:
4x-3y=11
4(-2+y)-3y=11

Using the distributive property, we have:
4(-2)+4(y)-3y=11
-8+4y-3y=11

Combining like terms, we have:
-8+y=11

Add 8 to each side:
-8+y+8=11+8
y=19

This is <u>not the y-coordinate</u> of the answer we're looking for, so <u>B is not correct</u>.

<u>For C</u>:
Since the coefficient of x in the second equation is 1, we will use <u>substitution</u> again.

x+2y=-11

To isolate x, subtract 2y from each side:
x+2y-2y=-11-2y
x=-11-2y

Now substitute this in place of x in the first equation:
-2x-y=-13
-2(-11-2y)-y=-13

Using the distributive property, we have:
-2(-11)-2(-2y)-y=-13
22+4y-y=-13

Combining like terms:
22+3y=-13

Subtract 22 from each side:
22+3y-22=-13-22
3y=-35

Divide both sides by 3:
3y/3 = -35/3
y = -35/3

This is <u>not the y-coordinate</u> of the answer we're looking for, so <u>C is not correct</u>.  

<u>For D</u>:
Since the coefficients of x are the same in each equation, we will use <u>elimination</u>.  We have 2x in each equation; to eliminate this, we will subtract, since 2x-2x=0:

\left \{ {{2x-y=7} \atop {-(2x+7y=31)}} \right. &#10;\\&#10;\\-8y=-24

Divide both sides by -8:
-8y/-8 = -24/-8
y=3

The y-coordinate is correct; next we check the x-coordinate  Substitute the value for y into the first equation:
2x-y=7
2x-3=7

Add 3 to each side:
2x-3+3=7+3
2x=10

Divide each side by 2:
2x/2=10/2
x=5

This gives us the x- and y-coordinate we need, so <u>D is the correct answer</u>.
