Remember, we can do anything to an equation as long as we do it to both sides

add like terms
2(x-8)=6x
divide both sides by 2
x-8=3x
minus x both sides
-8=2x
divide both sides by 2
-4=x
x=-4

the value of x that makes the eqaution true is -4

1) 43x + 72 = 502; 2 ) 19y - 200 = 47;

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

1) $43x + 72 = 502 \\ 43x = 502 - 72 \\ 43x = 430 \\ x = \frac{430}{43} \\ x = 10$

2) $19y - 200 = 47 \\ 19y = 47 + 200 \\ 19y = 247 \\ y = \frac{247}{19} \\ y = 13$

The value of______ divided by 40.01 is close to 1

guapka [62]

The value of 39.6099 divided by 40.01 is close to 1.

Solution:

Given data:

The value of______ divided by 40.01 is close to 1.

close to 1 means not exactly one which is 0.99.

Let the unknown be taken as x.

x ÷ 40.01 = close to 1

x ÷ 40.01 = 0.9999

$$\frac{x}{40.01} =0.99$

Do cross multiplication, we get

$x =0.99\times40.01$

x = 39.6099

Hence the value of 39.6099 divided by 40.01 is close to 1.
