Answer:

Hi there!

Your answer is:

x= 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Goal- get all X's on one side, and all whole numbers on the other

2+3x -x = 4x

First, combine like terms on each side of the equal sign

2+ 2x = 4x

Next, think about the additive inverse property. What, added to 2x, equals 0? 2x + (-2x) =0! So, we <u>subtract</u> 2x from both sides!

2= 4x-2x

Simplify

2= 2x

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x (in this case, 2)

2/2 = x

2/2 is equal to 1

1= x

Hope this helps!

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Combining the x terms, we get

2 + 2x = 4x, or 2 = 2x.

Then, after we divide both sides by 2 to isolate x, we get x = 1

Solve 3x+2y=4 4x+3y=7 algebraically

Leona [35]

Step 1. Multiply first equation with -3 and the second one with 2. You'll get:
$\left \{ {{-9x-6y=-12} \atop {8x+6y=14}} \right.$

Step 2. Add both equations together. You'll get:
$-x=2$ , which gives x = -2

Step 3. Replace x = -2 in the first equation and calculate y.
$3(-2)+2y=4\\
y=\frac{4+6}{2}=5$

The solution is: x=-2, y=5

A recipe requires sugar, flour and cocoa in the ratio 5:4:1

WARRIOR [948]

Let x be the amount of cocoa you use in the recipe.

then 4x is the amount of flour used, and 5x is the amount sugar used.

x+4x+5x= 550g
10x=550g
x=55g

So, you use 55g of cocoa, 220g of flour, and 275g of sugar.

hope this helps! :)
