2x + 3 /12 = 2x/8
⇒ 48x/24 + 6/24 = 6x/24
⇒ (48x+ 6)/24= 6x/24
⇒ 48x+ 6 = 6x
⇒ 48x- 6x= -6
⇒ 42x= -6
⇒ x= -6/42
⇒ x= -1/7
<span>
x=-1/7~</span>

You can say : 3/12 = 2x/8 - 2x ⇒ ( 1/4 = 2x/8 - 2x ) *8 ⇒ 2 = 2x - 16x ⇒ 2 = -14x 
so x = 2/-14 = -1/7 the answer is : x = -1/7 :))
i hope this be helpful 
have a nice day

SoIve the system of equations by elimination. (Addition)<br> 1)-2x + 4y = -22<br> 2x + 8y = –26
Rufina [12.5K]

Answee:

We have these two equations:

-2x +4y =-22

2x + 8y -26

We need to try to get the same number multiplying both x or y, I think we can make the 2 of the first equation negative, for that, we multiply all the equation by -1:

2x + 8y =-26  ---- -2x - 8y =26

Now we have this:

-2x +4y = -22

-2x -8y = 26

Now e substract both equations:

-2x - (-2x) +4y -(-8y) = -22-26

12y = -48

Y = -48/12 = -4

And we replace to get x

-2x + 4y = -22

-2x +4*(-4)=-22

-2x - 16 = -22

x= -6/-2 =3

an engineer has a 54 inch wire that she has to cut into two pieces so that one piece is 8 inches shorter than the other find the
Brilliant_brown [7]

Hey there!!

Let's take the length of the bigger piece as x inches

Then, the length of the smaller piece would be x - 8 inches

The sum of these lengths would be 54 inches

... x + x - 8 = 54

... 2x - 8 = 54

... Add 8 on both sides

... 2x = 62

... Divide 2 on both sides

... x = 31

Hence, the length of the bigger piece = 31 inches

The length of the smaller piece would be = 31 - 8 = 23 inches

Hope my answer helps!!
