<span>Simplifying 3x + 2 = 38
 

Reorder the terms: 2 + 3x = 38
 

Solving 2 + 3x = 38
 

Solving for variable 'x'.
 

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
 

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -2 + 3x = 38 + -2
 

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + 3x = 38 + -2
3x = 38 + -2
 
Combine like terms: 38 + -2 = 36 3x = 36


Divide each side by '3'. x = 12
 

Simplifying x = 12


Answer = 12 </span>

Subtract 2 from both sides

simplify 38 - 2 to 36

divide both sides by 3

simplify 36/3 to 12

Answer: x = 12.

Bezzdna [24]
To make this easy let covert everything using a LCD.

The LCD of 1/4  1/12 and 1/6  is 12. This becomes...

Tom ate 3/12 of the pizza.
Leftover pizza = 9/12.
Slices were 1/12.
X friends got pizza.
Remaining pizza is 2/12.

if each friend got 1 piece(1/12)....
9/12(Leftovers) - 2/12(remaining)  = 7/12

So 7 friends got pizza.

Juan takes 15 hours to do a job that his father can do in 6 hours. If juan works for 4.5 hours before his father joins him, how
ad-work [718]
Work it exactly like the other one with Wilda and Karla.

Juan takes 15 hours to do a job ... he does 1/15 of it in an hour.
His father can do it in 6 hours ... he does 1/6 of it in an hour.

Juan works alone for 4.5 hours.  In that time, he does  4.5/15 = 0.3
of the job.  When his father joins him, there's only 0.7 of it to finish.

Working together, they do (1/15 + 1/6) = (2/30 + 5/30) = 7/30 of the job
each hour.

How many times do they have to do  7/30  of the job in order to finish
the  7/10  of it that remains ?  That will be the number of hours they need.

(7/10) / (7/30) = 7/10 x 30/7 = <em>3 hours</em>.

Then they can knock off while it's still daylight, and go for a swim.
