Can you help me solve for x on this equation 2x+8=3x-4

Mathematics

Answer:

12

Step-by-step equation:

2x + 8 = 3x - 4

2x = 3x - 4 - 8

2x = 3x - 12

2x - 3x = -12

-1x = -12

x = -12 / -1

x = 12



Proof:

2(12) + 8 = 3(12) - 4

24 + 8 = 3(12) - 4

24 + 8 = 36 - 4

32 = 36 - 5

32 = 32 → both sides of the equation are equal, our answer is correct






Hope it helped,

Answer: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 8 = 3x - 4

In order to solve for x, we must isolate x. We can do this by moving all of the numbers with "x" in it to the left side of the equal side, and move everything else to the right of it!

Let's start off by subtracting 8 from both sides. Remember : what you do to one side, you must do it to the other.

2x + 8 - 8 = 3x - 4 - 8

Simplify!

2x = 3x - 12

Now, let's subtract 3x from both sides.

2x - 3x = 3x - 12 - 3x

Simplify!

-x = -12

Divide both sides by -1.

-x ÷ -1 = -12 ÷ -1

Simplify.

x = 12

Hello there!

For this you simply need to give both fractions a common denominator!

The easiest way to do this specific problem would be to make the denominator 12. Why 12? Because 4 x 3 = 12.

So:

1/4 --> ?/12 --> 1 (3) / 12 --> 3/12

2/3 --> ?/12 --> 2 (4) / 12 --> 8/12

Total amount of time means the sum (adding them together).

When adding fractions, you MUST have a common denominator! (Which is what we just did).

So 3/12 + 8/12 = (8+3) / 12 = 11/12 hours

Notice how the denominator stayed the same? When adding/subtracting fractions, the denominator stays the same! :)

Hope this helped!

What is the y-intercept of 2g(x)+3x=6?
umka21 [38]

The y-intercept is basically the value of the output of the function, g(x), when x=0.

Let's replace g(x) with the variable y to make this look a bit simpler.

2y + 3x = 6

Now, we enter the value of x=0 to get the y-intercept.

2y + 0 = 6

2y = 6

Divide both sides by 2

y = 3

The value of y is 3. Now enter the values of x=0 and y=3 into point-form (x,y) to get (0,3). You should know which answer choice to choose now.

Have an awesome day!
