Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
15 - x = 3x + 3
15 - x = 3•x + 3
4x = 12
x = 3
Sorry, I change the b and a into x's if that's fine with you.
Answer:
5m-8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
If b is 3, x=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
-2(3x-5)=16
use distributive property
-6x+10=16
take 10 away from both sides
-6x=6
divide both sides by -6
x=-1
Answer:
1. 10:8 = 5:4 (simplest form)
2. 860:400 = 43:20 (simplest form)
3. 4415:1200 = 883:240 (simplest form)
<span><span>4(1-2x)= 3(3-y)-12
4-8x=9-3y-12
-8x+3y=9-12-4
-8x+3y=-7
-----------------------
2(3x-1)-(y+4)= -7
6x-2-y-4=-7
6x-y=-7+2+4
6x-y=-1 multiply by 3 & add
18x-3y=-3
-8x+3y=-7
-------------
10x=-10
x=-10/10
x=-1 ans.
4(1-2*-1)=3(3-y)-12
4(1+2)=9-3y-12
4*3=-3-3y
12=-3-3y
3y=-3-12
3y=-15
y=-15/3
y=-5
Proof:
2(3*-1-1)-(-5+4)=-7
2(-3-1)-(-1)=-7
2*-4+1=-7
-8+1=-7
-7=-7
