9/2{8-x}+36=102-5/2{3x+24}
you first use 9/2 to open brackets
9/2*8=36,
9/2*x=9/2x
36-9/2x=102-5/2{3x+24}
5/2*3x=15/2x+60
36-9/2x=-15/2x-60
36+60=15/2x+9/2x
96=12x you then divide and the answer obtained will be 8.
x=8
Alright,
(a) 2x+4(x-1)=2
2x+4x-4=2---- Distrubution of 4(x-1)
6x-4=2---- Combining like terms
6x=6---- Making -4 equal 0 by adding +4 to both sides
x=1---- Divide the coefficiant (6)
(b) 25-x=15-(3x+10)
25-x=15-3x-10----Distribute the -1
25-x=5-3x---- Combine like terms
25=5-2x---- Make -x equal 0 by adding +x to both sides
20=-2x---- Make 5 equal zero by subtracting 5 (or adding -5) to both sides
-10=x---- Divide by the coefficiant (-2)
(c) 4x= 2x+2x+5(x-x)
4x=2x+2x+5(0)---- Distribute. Alright this might look hard but realy it is 1x-1x so the answer is 0
4x=2x+2x---- 5 times 0 is 0
4x=4x---- Combine like terms
x=x ---- divide by the coefficiant
Alright! Hope this helps! ;)
First we have to distribute the parentheses on the left side, 2*x is 2x and 2*-3 is -6, so now the equation is 4x+2x-6 = 8x+12
Then, we can add together the two x's on the left side,
so now we have 6x-6 = 8x+12 Subtract 12 from both sides and
you get 6x -18 = 8x Then you can subtract 6x from both the sides and get
-18 = 2x Now we can divide both sides by 2, and the final answer is -9 = x
Since they are not the same and the two sides aren't unequal, there is one solution(:
Hope this is helping you(:
