Mathematics
2 answers:
Feliz [49]3 years ago

20=3x-1

move -1 to the other side

sign changes from -1 to +1

20+1=3x-1+1

20+1=3x

21=3x

divide both sides by 3 to get x by itself

21/3=3/3x

Cross out 3 and 3, divide by 3 and then becomes 1*1*x=x

21/3=x

Answer:

x=7

Answer:

Let’s solve your equation step-by step.

20=3x-1

Step 1:flip the equation.

3x-1=20

Step 2:Add 1 to both sides.

3x-1+1=20+1

3x=21

Step 3:divide both sides by 3.

3x/3=21/3

X=7

Rearrange the equation so r is the independent variable.<br><br> 10q - 5r = 30
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

q = 3 + 1/2r

Step-by-step explanation:

10q - 5r = 30

We want to solve for q

Add 5r to each side

10q - 5r+5r = 30+5r

10q = 30+5r

Divide by 10

10q/10 = 30/10 +5r/10

q = 3 + 1/2r
