Solve this problem please x/3+6-2x=-6

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nikolay [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

36/5

Step-by-step explanation:

x/3 + 6 -2x = -6

multiply the whole equation by 3 to get rid of the denominator of the first x term.

x+18-6x = -18

move x terms to one side and numerical terms to the other, subtract 18 from both sides in this case

x+18-6x-18=-18-18

x-6x = -36

simplify

-5x = -36

divide both sides by -5 to isolate x

x = -36/-5

=36/5

17. Solve the following:<br> x – 3y = 5<br> 5x – 2y = -1
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

(- 1, - 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x - 3y = 5 → (1)

5x - 2y = - 1 → (2)

Rearrange (1) expressing x in terms of y by adding 3y to both sides

x = 5 + 3y → (3)

Substitute x = 5 + 3y in (2)

5(5 + 3y) - 2y = - 1 ← distribute left side

25 + 15y - 2y = - 1

25 + 13y = - 1 ( subtract 25 from both sides )

13y = - 26 ( divide both sides by 13 )

y = - 2

Substitute y = - 2 in (3) for corresponding value of x

x = 5 + (3 × - 2) = 5 - 6 = - 1

Solution is (- 1, - 2 )

One number is 8 greater than another. The product of the numbers is 84. Find the numbers.
mario62 [17]

Let x,y be the two numbers.

Given that one number is 8 greater than another.

Let x be the smaller number ans y be the greater number.

That is y=x+8. Let this be the first equation.

And also given that product of the two numbers is 84.

That is x × y = 84, let us plugin y=x+8 here.

x × (x+8) = 84

x²+ 8x -84 = 0.

x²+12x-4x-84 = 0

x(x+12)-4(x+12) =0

(x-4)(x+12)=0

That is x= 4 or -12.

<h3>If x=4 , y= 4+ 8 = 12</h3>

<h3>If x= -12, y= -12+8 = -4 </h3>

Hence two positive numbers corresponding to given conditions are 4,12.

And two negative numbers corresponding to given conditions are -12,-4.

Step-by-step explanation:

hope it may help you!!
