Like terms are when the variable you have are the same. In this case it is x. Therefore, when you have like terms, you should add, or subtract your like terms.

(note: When you move one thing to the other side of the equation, make sure to do the opposite of the sign. i.e. if it is +4 when you move to the other side it will be -4).

15x+12=45+4x
15x+12-12=45+4x-12
15x=45+4x-12
15x-4x=45+4x-4x-12
15x-4x=45-12
11x = 33
this is the same as:
11*x = 33
the opposite of multiply is divide so when we move the 11 it has to be divide
11/11*x=33/11
x=3

15x+12=45+4x ⇒15x - 4x = 45 - 12 ⇒ 11x = 33 ⇒ x = 3

Juan starts the same race 3 meters ahead of Nancy but he is going at 2 meters per second.

To find:

The equations for Nancy and Juan.

Solution:

Let x be the number of seconds.

Nancy is running 3 meters per second. So, the total distance covered by Nancy in the race is

$y=3x$

Juan starts the same race 3 meters ahead of Nancy but he is going at 2 meters per second. So, the total distance covered by Juan in the race is

$y=3+2x$

Therefore, the equations of Nancy and Juan are $y=3x$ and $y=3+2x$ respectively.

Bogdan [553]

If the population was 40,000 at the beginning of 2009, at the end of 2009 it has increased by 10% and became 44,000.

By the same way, at the end of 2010, it became $44000 + \frac{44000*10}{100} = 48400$

At the end of 2011, the population was $48400 + \frac{48400 * 10}{100} = 53240$
