What value of x makes the equation -6x-20=-2x+4 (1-3×) true​

Mathematics
1 answer:
dmitriy555 [2]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

-6x - 20 = -2x + 4 (1 - 3x)

Distributive property

-6x - 20 = -2x + 4  - 12x

Combine like terms

-6x - 20 = -14x + 4  

Add 14x to both sides

-6x - 20 + 14x = -14x + 4  + 14x

Simplifying

8x - 20 = 4

Add 20 to both sides

8x = 24

Divide both sides by 8

x = 3

Fluffy the cat is 3 years older than Scuffy the dog. Six less than five times Scruffy's age is one more than three times Fluffy'
lesya692 [45]

Answer: fluffy is 11 years old

Scuffy is 8 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the present age of Fluffy the cat.

Let y represent the present age of Scuffy the dog.

Fluffy the cat is 3 years older than Scuffy the dog. This means that

x = y + 3 - - - - - -- - - - - 1

Six less than five times Scruffy's age is one more than three times Fluffy's age. This means that

5y - 6 = 3x + 1

5y - 3x = 1 + 6

5y - 3x = 7 - - - - - - - - - -2

Substituting equation 1 into equation 2, it becomes

5y - 3(y + 3) = 7

5y - 3y - 9 = 7

5y - 3y = 7 + 9

2y = 16

y = 16/2 = 8

x = y + 3

x = 8 + 3 = 11

For what values of a is the value of the binomial 2a−1 smaller than the value of the binomial 7−1.2a by 7?
Nimfa-mama [501]

ANSWER

a =  \frac{5}{16}

EXPLANATION

We want to find the value of a for which the binomial, 2a-1 is smaller than the value of the binomial 7-1.2a by 7.

This means that, when we subtract 2a-1 from 7-1.2a, we should get 7.

7 - 1.2a - (2a - 1) = 7

Expand:

7 - 1.2a - 2a  + 1= 7

Group similar terms:

- 1.2a - 2a = 7 - 7 - 1

- 3.2a =   - 1

Divide both sides by -3.2,

a =  \frac{ - 1}{ - 3.2}

a =  \frac{5}{16}
