Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

2 x - 1 = 4 x + 5

Subtract 4 x from both sides:

(2 x - 4 x) - 1 = (4 x - 4 x) + 5

2 x - 4 x = -2 x:

-2 x - 1 = (4 x - 4 x) + 5

4 x - 4 x = 0:

-2 x - 1 = 5

Add 1 to both sides:

(1 - 1) - 2 x = 1 + 5

1 - 1 = 0:

-2 x = 5 + 1

5 + 1 = 6:

-2 x = 6

Divide both sides of -2 x = 6 by -2:

(-2 x)/(-2) = 6/(-2)

(-2)/(-2) = 1:

x = 6/(-2)

The gcd of 6 and -2 is 2, so 6/(-2) = (2×3)/(2 (-1)) = 2/2×3/(-1) = 3/(-1):

x = 3/(-1)

Multiply numerator and denominator of 3/(-1) by -1:

Answer: x = -3

Max was on vacation twice as long as Jared and half as long as Wesley. The boys were on vacation a total of 3 weeks. How many da
GuDViN [60]
Lets say W=Wesley, M=Max, and J=Jared.
So your equations are M=2J, 2M=W, and M+J+W=21days(3 weeks)
So substituting M and W into M+J+W=21 gives you 2J+J+2M=21, substitute M again, to get 2J+J+4J=21 so you get 7J=21 so J= 3 days. Using J=3, substitute in to find M, using M=2J, so M=2(3) so M=6 and using that, substitute into 2M=W, so 2(6)=W so W=12. And 12+6+3=21 to check.
