Which is a solution to 2x + 1 = 21?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Bezzdna [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x = 10 is your answer

- Explain -

Step 1: subtract 1 from both sides (subtraction of equality)

which will give us:

2x = 21 - 1

which equals to

2x = 20

Step 2: Divide both sides by 2

which is

2x/2 = 20/2

2/2 = 1 and 20/2 = 10

Therefore the answer is x = 10

How many solutions does this system of equations have?
Phoenix [80]
<h3>Answer: D) infinitely many solutions</h3>

===================================================

Explanation:

Let's solve the first equation for y

4x - 2y = 6

4x-6 = 2y

2y = 4x-6

y = (4x-6)/2

y = (4x/2) - (6/2)

y = 2x - 3

After doing so, we see that 4x-2y = 6 is equivalent to y = 2x-3

Therefore, the original system of equations is effectively listing the same equation twice (one has a different form compared to the other).

Both equations in this system produce the same graph, which leads to infinitely many solutions. All solutions are on the line y = 2x-3.

You can say that all solutions are in the form (x, 2x-3) where x is any real number you want.

-------------------------------

Here's another approach using substitution

4x - 2y = 6 ... start with the first equation

4x - 2( y ) = 6

4x - 2( 2x-3 ) = 6 .... replace y with 2x-3; ie plug in y = 2x-3

4x - 2(2x) - 2(-3) = 6

4x - 4x + 6 = 6

0x + 6 = 6

0 + 6 = 6

6 = 6

We get a true statement. The last equation is always true regardless of what we plug in for x, so this is another way to see how we get to infinitely many solutions.

Side note: the system is considered dependent since one equation depends on the other. The system is also consistent since it has at least one solution.
