What is the ultimate goal when solving equations? What do you want your final answer to look like?

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\text{To get x on one side of the equation:} \ \ x = ...}

Step-by-step explanation:

When we solve for an equation, our goal is to find the value of the variable. Any variable can be used, but for the time being let’s assume we use x.

We can algebraeically solve equations until we get the value of x - in which we will have x equal to something.

Say we have the equation 5x+5=20. Our goal is to find the value of x. <u>We can do this by getting x isolated on one side so we have something equal to x</u>.

We can subtract 5 from both sides and divide both sides by 5.

5x=15\\\\x=3

We now know the value of x since it’s on one side of the equation.

Hope this helped!

(100 points) Give a step by step explanation on how you solved this problem
Lina20 [59]
Use substitution
Given both y values, you know that they have to be equal

3x + 3 = x - 1
2x + 3 = -1
2x = -4, divide by 2
x = -2
Now plug x value into any of the equation to find y value
y = 3(-2) + 3
y = -6 + 3, y = -3

Solution: x = -2, y = -3

A bag of rice contains 17 1/2 cups of rice. Ken's children eat 2 1/2 cups of rice each day.
balu736 [363]

Answer:

The answer is "7".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given values:

\ bag \ of \ rice= 17\frac{1}{2} \\\\\ eating \ rice \ by \ ken \ per \ day = 2\frac{1}{2}\\\\\ rice = \frac{35}{2}\\\\ \ eat \ by \ day = \frac{5}{2}\\\\\ total \ days = \frac{\ bag \ value}{ \ eat \ by \ day}\\\\\ total \ days = \frac{\frac{35}{2}}{\frac{5}{2}}\\\\\ total \ days = \frac{35}{2} \times \frac{2}{5}\\\\\ total \ days = 7

Which statement is true about the expression?
zysi [14]

Answer:

Your number is (3 sqrt(2)) / sqrt(2) = 3, and is a rational number indeed. I don't know exactly how to interpret the rest of the question. If r is a positive rational number and p is some positive real number, then sqrt(r^2 p) / sqrt(p) is always rational, being equal r. Possibly your question refers to situtions in which sqrt(c) is not uniquely determined, as for c negative real number or complex non-real number. In those situations a discussion is necessary. Also, in general expressions the discussion is necesary, because the denominator must be different from 0, and so on.
