How do u solve 2x + 22 = 12

Mathematics
1 answer:
NARA [144]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to eliminate 22, so x is alone.

2x+22=12

So we subtract 22 from both sides.

2x+22=12

-22 -22

2x=-10

Now we have to divide 2 on both sides so x is alone.

2x=-10

÷2. ÷2

x=-5

We can always check

2(-5)+22=12

-10+22=12

12=12

I don't understand the substitution method?
liq [111]
It depends on what variable you are tying to solve for first. Say you are trying to solve for x first and then y on the first problem you wrote.

In substitution you solve one of the equations for example with
6x+2y=-10
2x+2y=-10
you solve 2x+2y=-10 for x

2x+2y=-10
-2y = -2y (what you do to one side of the = you do to the other)
2x=-10-2y (to get the variable by its self you divide the # and the variable)
/2=/2 (-10/2=-5 and -2y/2= -y or -1y, they are the same either way)
x=-5-y

now you put that in your original equation that you didn't solve for:
6(-5-y)+2y=-10 solve for that
-30-6y+2y=-10 combine like terms
-30-4y=-10 get the y alone and to do this you first get the -30 away from it
+30=+30
-4y=20 divide the -4 from each side
/-4=/-4 (20/-4=-5)
y=-5

now the equation you previously solved for x can be solved for y.
x=-5-y
x=-5-(-5) a minus parenthesis negative -(- gives you a positive
-5+5=0
x=0

and now we have solved the problem. x=0 and y=-5

How to tell if an equation is linear or nonlinear?
gogolik [260]
A linear equation will contain  a term in x  has the highest degree.  For example  y = 2x - 5 . A non linear will contain terms with exponents 2 or higher 
eg x^2 - 2x - 5  is nonlinear.
