What is the value of x in the equation below? 4(x + 3) = 9x + 16 + 3x

Mathematics
1 answer:
creativ13 [48]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x + 3) = 9x + 16 + 3x

Distribute the 4

4x +12 = 9x+16+3x

Combine like terms

4x+12 = 12x+16

Subtract 4x

4x-4x+12 = 12x-4x+16

12 = 8x+16

Subtract 16

12-16 = 8x+16-16

-4 =8x

Divide by 8

-4/8 =8x/8

-1/2 =x

 x is the number of adults and y is the number of children.
   x + y = 12
<span>14x + 10y = 140
lets multiply the first equation by -10 and then add it to the second equation:
-10x - 10y = -120
</span>14x + 10y = <span>140
</span>-----------------------
4x + 0 = 20
x = 20/4
x = 5
then substitute in the original equation:
x + y = <span>12
</span>5 + y = <span>12
</span>y = 12 - 5
y = 7
therefore there were 5 adults and 7 children

Choose the pair of numbers that is not a solution to the given equation.
balandron [24]

Answer:

The pair (0,3) is not a solution to the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be proved by simply replacing the x and y variables in the equation by the x and y values of the pair, and checking if the equation renders a true statement:

By replacing x and y with their values in the pair (0,3), that is x=0 and y=3, in the equation y = 5 - 2x  we get:

3 = 5 - 2 (0)

3 = 5 - 0

3 = 5

which is NOT a true statement.

On the other hand, the other two pairs (2,1) and (1,3) render true statements:

1 = 5 - 2 (2)

1 = 5 - 4

1 = 1

and

3 = 5 - 2 (1)

3 = 5 - 2

3 = 3
