Solve for x: 5x + 14 = 3x+8

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vera_Pavlovna [14]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we want all the variables on one side of the equation, and the numbers on the other

First, subtract 3x on both sides

5x+14=3x+8

2x+14=8

Subtract 14 on both sides

2x=-6

Divide by 2 on both sides

x= -3

Hope this helps! :)

Micah is preparing for a piano recital. He practices for 50 minutes on Monday and 90 minutes on Wensday
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

She increased 80% the practise time

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete, the following is missing:

<em>by how much did she increase the time she practised each day? </em>

From Monday to Wednesday she increased 90 - 50 = 40 minutes  the practise time.

To compute the increment as a percentage use: increment/reference *100

In this case, that is: 40/50*100 = 80%, where 50 minutes is taken as a reference.

Why is it necessary to apply inverse operations on both sides of the equals l sign when solving an equations
liraira [26]
Take this example (cause it's easy to explain)

10+5x=15x

To solve it we have to minus five on both side. We have to do this because we need to isolate the variable (in this case x) on the one side so we can divide and solve.

You would -5x (inverse from positive 5) from both sides on this because whatever you do to one side you have to do to the others to make it equal. In this case the answer would be x=1 (again cause it's easy lol.)

I hope this helps you!
