Please help me with an addition formula problem!

1 answer:

6 0

2a + 3b = 6
5a + 2b = 4

We multiply the first equation by 5 and the second by 2 and and subtract the second from the first:

10a + 15b = 30
-10a -4b = -8

11b = 22
b = 2

2a + 3(2) = 6
2a = 0
a = 0

Checking,
5(0) + 2(2) = 4
4 = 4, true

What is the value of x in the equation 3-2x--15x? 6 2 2 6

Wittaler [7]

Consider the given equation is $3-2x=15$ and one of the 6 in the options is -6.

Given:

The equation is

$3-2x=15$

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

We have,

$3-2x=15$

Subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

$3-2x-3=15-3$

$-2x=12$

Divide both sides by -2.

$x=\dfrac{12}{-2}$

$x=-6$

Therefore, the value of x is -6.
