Answer:

x= -7

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation:

1x-15=5x+13

We want to solve for x. Therefore, we must isolate x on one side of the equation.

First, let’s move all the terms with variables to one side. Subtract 1x from both sides.

1x-1x-15=5x-1x+13

-15= (5x-1x)+13

-15=4x+13

Next, move all the constants, or terms without variables to one side. Subtract 13 from both sides.

-15-13=4x+13-13

-15-13=4x

-28=4x

Finally, divide both sides by 4. We should divide because x is being multiplied by 4 and the inverse of multiplication is division.

-28/4=4x/4

-28/4=x

-7=x

Let’s check our solution. Plug -7 in for x and solve.

1x - 15 = 5x + 13

1(-7) - 15 = 5(-7) + 13

-7-15=5(-7)+13

-22= 5(-7)+13

-22= -35+13

-22=-22

This checks out, so we know our solution is correct.

The solution to 1x - 15 = 5x + 13 is x= -7

Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a multi-step equation in algebra. We are expected to isolate the given variable and find the constant value that it is equal to. In order to do this, we can follow some steps:

1x - 15 = 5x + 13 Subtract 5x on both sides of the equation.

-4x - 15 = 13 Add 15 to both sides of the equation.

-4x = 28 Divide by -4 on both sides of the equation.

x = -7

You can input this value and make sure that the answer is correct.

1(-7) - 15 = 5(-7) + 13

-7 - 15 = -35 + 13

-22 = -22

-22 equals -22, so x = -7 is the solution to the equation.

What is the solution to this system of equations? 2x+y-5z=4 x+3y+z=5 3x-y-4z=-11
GREYUIT [131]

For the given linear system equations, the value for the variables are: x=-2, y=4, and z=-5 - Option C.

System of Linear Equations

System of linear equations is the given term math for two or more equations with the same variables. The solution of these equations represents the point at which the lines intersect.

The question gives:

2x+y-5z=4 (1)

x+3y+z=5  (2)

3x-y-4z=-11 (3)

First, you should sum equations 1 and 2. The results will be:

3x+4y-4z=9 then you have a new equation (4).

3x-y-4z=-11 (3)

3x+4y-4z= 9(4)

Now, you should multiply equation (3) by -1, then you will have:

-3x+y+4z=+11 (3)

3x+4y-4z=9 (4)

After that, you should sum the previous equations: (3) and (4).

5y=20

y=4

For find z, you should multiply equation 2 by -2. After that, you should sum equations 1 and 2.

2x+y-5z=4 (1)

-2x-6y-2z=-10  (2)

Thus, you will have:

-5y-7z=-6, like y=4 you have

-5*4-7z=-6

-20-7z=-6

-7z=14

z=-2

If z=-2 and y=4 from equation 2, you can find x.

x+3y+z=5

x+3*4-2=5

x+12-2=5

x+10=5

x=5-10

x=-5

Why is the second survey more belivable than the first?
Anika [276]
As it says, the second one even it surveys fewer gamers, but their yearly income is verified, which are accurate, unlike the first one, where the gamers only report their income, which is not 100% true. some people may fake the number. therefore, the second one is more accurate and believable.
