Substitute a number for each variable
Ex.
2x x=5
(2)(5)
=10
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Expand
8x - 5x + 5 = 20
2. Simplify
3x + 5 = 20
3. Subtract 5 from both sides
3x = 20 - 5
4. Simplify
3x = 15
5. Divide both sides by 3
x = 15/3
6. Simplify
x = 5
We can solve this by finding one of the numbers first
Let the smaller number be y.
Since these 2 numbers are consecutive odd numbers, the larger number should be 2 more than the smaller one (y+2).
Therefore,
y + (y+2) = 284
2y +2 = 284
shift +2 to the other side and turn it into -2
2y = 284 - 2
2y = 282
shift x2 to the other side and turn it into /2
y = 282/2
y = 141
Now we got the smaller number, which is 141, we can also find the larger number by adding 2 to it. 141+2 = 143,
Therefore, your answer is 141 and 143
Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
40/x=32/4
160=32x
160/32=32x/32
5=x
