What is the answer to 3(x+1) = 5+x

Mathematics

3 (x + 1) = 5 + x

First you must distribute the 3 to the values inside the parentheses:

3 (x + 1) = 5 + x

(3 * x) + (3 * 1) = 5 + x

3x + 3 = 5 + x

Now you must combine like terms. Like terms are numbers that have matching variables like 3x and x OR are numbers with out variables like 3 and 5.

3x - x = 5 - 3

2x = 2

Next, to completely isolate x, divide 2 to both sides. Since 2 is being multiplied by x, division (the opposite of multiplication) will cancel 2 out (in this case it will make 2 one) from the left side and bring it over to the right side.

2x / 2 = 2 / 2

1x = 1

Check:

3 (1 + 1) = 5 + 1

3 (2) = 5 + 1

6 = 6

^^^This is true, therefore:

x = 1

Hope this helped!

If 400ml of milk is used for 8 pancakes then how much is used for 6
Naddik [55]

To solve this equation, you will need to set up a proportion where you set two fractions equal to each other.

Let x = the unknown amount of milk

\frac{400}{8} = \frac{x}{6}

You would then crossmultiply and solve for x.

8x = 400(6)

8x = 2400

x = 2400/8

x = 300

You will need 300 mL of milk to make 6 pancakes if you previously needed 400 mL to make 8 pancakes.

[Algebra] Find the center and radius of the circle with equation x2 y2 -2x4y 113 op
KIM [24]
What you do is get into the form
(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2
(h,k) is center
r=radis

complete the square with x and y

x^2+y^2-2x+4y-11=0
group x and y terms together
(x^2-2x)+(y^2+4y)-11=0

take 1/2 of linear coefieicnt and add postive and negative
for x^2-2x, -2/2=-1, (-1)^2=1
for y^2+4y, 4/2=2, 2^2=4

(x^2-2x+1-1)+(y^2+4y+4-4)-11=0
complete the square
(x-1)^2-1+(y+2)^2-4-11=0
add like terms
(x-1)^2+(y+2)^2-16=0
add 16 both side
(x-1)^2+(y+2)^2=16
(x-(1))^2+(y-(-2))^2=4^2
(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

(h,k)
(1,-2)
r=4

center is (1,-2)
radius is 4 units
