2x + 4 = 12

We're simply just trying to isolate x.

So, we must get x onto it's own side of the equal sign :)

Our first step is to subtract 4 from both sides.

2x + 4 - 4 = 12 - 4

Simplify.

2x = 8

Then, we divide both sides by 2.

2x ÷ 2 = 8 ÷ 2 

Simplify.

x = 4

----------

To check your work, simply plug in the value of x into x in the original equation.

In this problem, x = 4, so plug in 4 for x.

2x + 4 = 12

2(4) + 4 = 12

Simplify.

8 + 4 = 12

12 = 12

Therefore, x = 4

First you subtract 4 from both sides.
2x+4-4=12-4
Simplify
2x=8
Divide both sides by 2 
\frac{2x}{2} and \frac{8}{2}

Final answer {x=4}

Answer:

  • red division: 6 teams
  • blue division: 5 teams

Step-by-step explanation:

We can let r and b represent the numbers of teams in the red and blue divisions, respectively. The total number of goals scored in each division will be the average for that division times the number of teams in that division.

  r - b = 1 . . . . . . there is 1 more red team than blue

  4.5r +4.2b = 48 . . . . . . total goals scored per week

__

Solving by substitution, we have ...

  r = b +1

  4.5(b +1) +4.2b = 48 . . . . substitute for r

  8.7b +4.5 = 48 . . . . . . . . simplify

  8.7b = 43.5 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4.5

  b = 43.5/8.7 = 5 . . . . . divide by 8.7

  r = b +1 = 6 . . . . . . . . . find r

There are 6 red teams and 5 blue teams.

<em>Additional comment</em>

The basic idea is that you make an equation for each relation given in the problem statement. For a problem like this, you do need to have an understanding of how the average number of goals would be calculated and how that relates to the total goals.
