What is the variable x in 40+10x=5x-30

Mathematics
1 answer:
konstantin123 [22]3 years ago
4 0

40 + 10x = 5x - 30

To begin isolating x, subtract 40 from both sides.

40 + 10x - 40 = 5x - 30 - 40

10x = 5x - 70

Subtract 5x from both sides.

10x - 5x= 5x - 70 - 5x

5x = -70

Finally, divide both sides by 5.

5x/5 = -70/5

x = -14

Answer:

x = -14

Kyra has a rock collection.When she puts her rocks into 2 equal piles,there are no rocks left over.When she puts her rocks into
liubo4ka [24]

any multiple of 12

Since 2, 3 and 4 divide exactly into the number of rocks

We are looking for the common multiples of 2, 3 and 4

2 × 3 × 4 = 24 is possible but dividing by 2 gives 12 the lowest common multiple

Any multiple of 12 gives a possible number of rocks.

Solve the system of equations using substitution
Andru [333]

Answer:

x = 136/11 , y = 68/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{6 x - y = 68

2 y = x

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the second equation, look to solve for x:

{6 x - y = 68

2 y = x

Hint: | Reverse the equality in 2 y = x in order to isolate x to the left hand side.

2 y = x is equivalent to x = 2 y:

{6 x - y = 68

x = 2 y

Hint: | Perform a substitution.

Substitute x = 2 y into the first equation:

{11 y = 68

x = 2 y

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the first equation, look to solve for y:

{11 y = 68

x = 2 y

Hint: | Solve for y.

Divide both sides by 11:

{y = 68/11

x = 2 y

Hint: | Perform a back substitution.

Substitute y = 68/11 into the second equation:

{y = 68/11

x = 136/11

Hint: | Sort results.

Collect results in alphabetical order:

Answer: {x = 136/11 , y = 68/11
