Mathematics

Akimi4 [234]2 years ago

(2x + 2) = (3x + -52)

Reorder the terms:
(2 + 2x) = (3x + -52)

Remove parenthesis around (2 + 2x)
2 + 2x = (3x + -52)

Reorder the terms:
2 + 2x = (-52 + 3x)

Remove parenthesis around (-52 + 3x)
2 + 2x = -52 + 3x

Solving
2 + 2x = -52 + 3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.
2 + 2x + -3x = -52 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 2x + -3x = -1x
2 + -1x = -52 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0
2 + -1x = -52 + 0
2 + -1x = -52

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -2 + -1x = -52 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + -1x = -52 + -2
-1x = -52 + -2

Combine like terms: -52 + -2 = -54
-1x = -54

Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 54

Simplifying
x = 54

Jada solved the equation Negative StartFraction 4 over 9 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 108 EndFraction for x using the step
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Jada should have multiplied both sides of the equation by 108.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. Find the complete question in the comment section.

Given the equation -4/9 = x/108, in order to determine Jada's error, we need to solve in our own way as shown:

Step 1: Multiply both sides of the equation by -9/4 as shown:

-4/9 × -9/4 = x/108 × -9/4

-36/-36 = -9x/432

1 = -9x/432

1 = -x/48

Cross multiplying

48 = -x

x = -48

It can also be solved like this:

Given -4/9 = x/108

Multiply both sides by 108 to have:

-4/9 * 108 = x/108 * 108

-4/9 * 108 = 108x/108

-432/9 = x

x = -48

Jada should have simply follow the second calculation by multiplying both sides of the equation by 108 as shown.

B) Make b the subject of the formula a = 4 - 3b​
Ira Lisetskai [31]
A=4-3b
subtract 4 from both sides
a-4=-3b
divide by -3 for both sides
(a-4)/-3 = b
