Answer:
The solution to the equation is:
- <u>x = 2.5</u> or <u>x = 5/2</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the solution to the equation, you only must operate the equation until you clear the x variable, with the next steps:
And we solve:
- 4x + 28 = 38 (we multiply 4 by x and 7)
- 4x = 38 - 28 (we pass the +28 to subtract to the right side of the equality and operate)
- x = 10 / 4 (we pass the 4 that is multiplying to divide to the right side of the equality)
- <u>x = 2.5</u> (we divide)
As you can see, <u><em>the solution of the equation is </em></u><u><em>x = 2.5</em></u><u><em> or </em></u><u><em>x = 5/2</em></u>
Answer:
Since this is a multi-part question, just look at the bolded parts under each letter. I hope this helps a bit ;)
Step-by-step explanation:
A)
All sides of a square are congruent. "s" represents the square's perimeter:
s=4x.
"r" is the rectangle's perimeter:
r= 4x+26
since the perimeter = 2W + 2L:
2W + 2L= 4x+ 26
and W=x, so:
2x + 2L= 4x + 26
Subtract from both sides:
2L= 2x +26
Divide both sides:
the length of the rectangle "L"= x +13.
B) Plug 5 into the equations:
L= 5+ 13 or 18.
2(18) + 2(5)= r
36+ 10 = r or 46
s= s+ 26
s= 46-26 or 20.
20/4= 5...
It seems (at least to me, feel free to give constructive criticism) that the only logical conclusion is that 5 <u>could</u> be the value of x.
C) You would likely need to use substitution to solve, but unless I am much mistaken, this looks like an infinite-solutions equation.
L=w+13
2/3b = 12
First you have to get rid of 2/3, so you multiply both sides by its reciprical:
(3/2) 2/3b = 12 (3/2) -->b = 36/2 --> b = 18
Any number from -10 to -∞ would be correct. One example is -79.
