How can you solve an equation with a variable on ni tu sides?​

Mathematics

Vesnalui [34]3 years ago

Answer:

  Subtract from both sides of the equation the term you don't want

Step-by-step explanation:

In solving equations, you generally want to "undo" operations that are done to the variable. Addition is "undone" by adding the opposite (that is, subtracting the amount that was added). Multiplication is "undone" by division.

If you have variables on both sides of the equation, pick one of the variable terms and subtract it from both sides of the equation.

<u>Example</u>

  2x = x +1

If we choose to subtract x, then we will have a variable term on the left and a  constant term on the right:

  2x -x = x -x +1 . . . . . . . x is subtracted from both sides

  x = 1 . . . . . . simplify

__

Note that we purposely set up this example so that removing the variable term from the right side caused the variable term and constant term to be on opposite sides of the equal sign. It may not always be that way. As long as you remember that an unwanted term can be removed by subtracting it (from both sides of the equation), you can deal with constant terms and variable terms no matter where they appear.

_____

<em>Additional Comment</em>

It usually works well to choose the variable term with the smallest (or most negative) coefficient. That way, when you subtract it, you will be left with a variable term that has a positive coefficient.

8. Given: PQR and TSR are right triangles,
rewona [7]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. Types of triangles are scalene, right angled, isosceles, equilateral.

A right angled triangle is a triangle with one angle equals to 90°.

Statement                      Reason

∠PQR = ∠RST                Given. ∠PQR = ∠RST = 90° (definition for right

                                       angle triangle.

PQ = ST                          Given

PR ≅  RT                         Since R is the midpoint of PT, hence PR = RT

ΔPQR ≅ ΔTSR                Side-angle-side triangle congruence theorem.

                                       the Side-angle-side triangle congruence theorem

                                       states that if two sides and an included angle of

                                       one triangle is equal to two sides and an included

                                       angle of another triangle, then the two triangles

                                       are congruent. PQ=ST, PR = RT and ∠PQR = ∠TSR
