2x-1 less than -1 or -4x less than -12

The solution to these equations is either x < 0 or x > 3.

In order to find them, we need to solve each equation separately. Let's start with the first one.

2x - 1 < -1 -----> Add 1 to both sides

2x < 0 -----> Now divide each side by 2.

x < 0

Now let's look at the second one.

-4x < -12 ----> Divide both sides by -4

x > 3 (Notice that the sign changes direction because we divided by a negative)

When you have an "or" statement, you'll wind up with two answers, so we use both of these.

Solve this equation<br> 5x+2=3x-20-1x
Rainbow [258]
5x+2=3x-20-1x\\5x+2=2x-20\ \  \ \ |subtract\ 2\ from\ both\ sides\\5x=2x-22\ \ \ \ |subtract\ 2x\ from\ both\ sides\\3x=-22\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 3\\\\\boxed{x=-\frac{22}{3}}\Rightarrow\boxed{x=-7\frac{1}{3}}

One number is 5 times another number.their sum is 90.find the numbers.​
alexgriva [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

let both unknowns be x and y

x = 5y. ......(1)

x + y = 90. ......(2)

sub eqn (1) into eqn (2)

5y + y = 90

6y = 90

y = 90/6

= 15

sub y = 15 to eqn (1)

x = 5y

x = 5 × 15

× = 75
