Step-by-step explanation:
(e)
-
= 1
Multiply through by 12 to clear the fractions
4(2x - 1) - 3(3x - 1) = 12 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify
8x - 4 - 9x + 3 = 12
- x - 1 = 12 ( add 1 to both sides )
- x = 13 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
x = - 13
---------------------------------------------------------------
(f)
- 5 = 24 ( add 5 to both sides )
= 29 ( multiply both sides by 4 )
3m = 116 ( divide both sides by 3 )
m =
--------------------------------------------------------------
(g)
-
= 3
Multiply through by 6 to clear the fractions
15(y + 2) - 8(y + 1) = 18 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify
15y + 30 - 8y - 8 = 18
7y + 22 = 18 ( subtract 22 from both sides )
7y = - 4 ( divide both sides by 7 )
y = -
