Solve 6 - 2/3(x+5)=4x algebraically

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alexandra [31]3 years ago

Answer:

4/7 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

6 - 2/3(x+5)=4x

Multiply each side by 3 to clear the fraction

3(6 - 2/3(x+5))=4x*3

Distribute

18 -2(x+5) =12x

Distribute the 2

18 -2x-10 = 12x

Combine like terms

8 -2x = 12x

Add 2x to each side

8-2x+2x =12x+2x

8 = 14x

Divide by 14 on each side

8/14 =14x/14

4/7 =x

Y=(3/5)x -3 and 5y =3x-10 these lines are and the second question?
azamat
Look at the first line:  y = (3/5)x - 3.  What happens if you multiply each term by 5, to eliminate the fraction?

5y = 3x - 3

Compare this to the second equation, 

5y - 3x = -10, or 5y = 3x - 10.

The coefficients of x and y (as 3 and 5 here) determine the slope of a straight line.  Since 5y = 3x is present in both equations, the two lines MUST be parallel.



y = 4
4y = 6   =>   y = 6/4

y+4 and y =3/2 are both horizontal lines.  Since they are horiz., they are parallel.
