Determine whether the equation is always sometimes or never true 2(5x+4)=10x+6

1 answer:

Usimov [2.4K]2 years ago

This equation is NEVER true. Let's solve the equations algebraically by applying the Distributive Property of Multiplication and transposing the terms across the equality sign. The solution is as follows:

<span>2(5x+4)=10x+6
10x + 8 = 10x + 6
10x - 10x = 6 - 8
0 = -2

Therefore, it is not true.</span>

51 is 33 1/3 of what number?

nevsk [136]

Answer:

$\boxed{\frac{153}{100}\:\:Or\:\:1.53}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be $n$ .

Then,

$33\frac{1}{3} \tmes n=51$

This implies that;

$\frac{100}{3} n=51$

We multiply both sides by $\frac{3}{100}$ to obtain;

$\frac{3}{100} \times \frac{100}{3}n=\frac{3}{100} \times 51$

$\Rightarrow n=\frac{3}{100} \times 51$

$\Rightarrow n=\frac{153}{100}$

Or

$\Rightarrow n=1.53$

10. 2x + 7y = 1<br> 2x - 4y = 12<br> Solve for y

adoni [48]

Answer:

The solution for y = -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$2x\ +\ 7y\ =\ 1$ ....(1)

$2x\ -\ 4y\ =\ 12$ ....(2)

So, to solve for y, first we solve for x in equation (2):

$2x-4y=12$

⇒ $2x=12+4y$

Dividing both sides by 2,

⇒ $x=6+2y$

Now, substituting the value of x in equation (1):

$2x+7y=1$

⇒ $2(6+2y)+7y=1$

⇒ $12+4y+7y=1$

⇒ $12+11y=1$

⇒ $11y=1-12$

⇒ $11y=-11$

Dividing both sides by 11,

⇒ $y=-1$

Therefore, the solution for y = -1.
