For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable.
We have then:
x: unknown number
We now write the equation that models the problem:
From here, we clear the value of x.
We multiply both sides of the equation by 2:
We subtract 30 on both sides of the equation:
Answer:
The value of the unknown number is given by:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
smplifying
7x + 11 = 25
Reorder the terms:
11 + 7x = 25
Solving
11 + 7x = 25
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-11' to each side of the equation.
11 + -11 + 7x = 25 + -11
Combine like terms: 11 + -11 = 0
0 + 7x = 25 + -11
7x = 25 + -11
Combine like terms: 25 + -11 = 14
7x = 14
Divide each side by '7'.
x = 2
Simplifying
x = 2
Answer:
the answer would be C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
m = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
- 36 - m = 8(4+2m)
- 36 - m = 32+16m (to remove m from the left side, we need to add m to both sides)
- 36 = 32+17m (subtract 32 from both sides)
- 68 = 17m (divide by 17 on both sides)
-4 = m
Answer: a = 18
explanation:
2(a + 10) = 56 -> distribute the 2
2a + 20 = 56 -> subtract 20 from both sides
2a = 56 - 20
2a = 36 -> divide both sides by 2
a = 18
