It's geometry, help him with a problem number of 28 please.
Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other.
First, add 9 to both sides
3/4x - 9 (+9) = 27 (+9)
3/4x = 36
Next, multiply 4/3 to both sides
(4/3)(3/4)x = 36(4/3)
x = 36(4/3)
Simplify.
x = 12(4)
x = 48
48 is your answer for x.
hope this helps
The answer is 20.4285714285
13x - 6y = 2......multiply by 2
3x - 4y = -10....multiply by -3
------------------
26x - 12y = 4 (result of multiplying by 2)
-9x + 12y = 30 (result of multiplying by -3)
-----------------add
17x = 34
x = 34/17
x = 2
now sub 2 in for x into either of the original equations to find y
3x - 4y = -10
3(2) - 4y = -10
6 - 4y = -10
6 + 10 = 4y
16 = 4y
16/4 = y
4 = y
solution is (2,4)
Each student should do 1/4 of one board or 1/8 of both boards. This is because 8÷2 is 4, which means 4 people need to work together on one board.
