How do u solve 4(3x-1)=9-x

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nastasia [14]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Well the first step is to apply the distributive property:

4(3x - 1) is equal to (12x - 4). You DISTRIBUTE a '4' to what is inside the parentheses.

And btw, to make it easier, you can make 9 - x so that x is first. For example, (-x + 9). They're both the same thing, just written differently.

Your new equation is 12x - 4 = -x + 9. You want to now solve the equation.

Add the (-x) to both sides. It cancels out on the right side and you add it to 12x on the left side.

[If there's no number in front of a variable, you can always just put 1 in order to make it easier]

12x + 1x = 13x. Your new equation is 13x - 4 = 9. This should look very familiar. You simply add 4 to both sides. 9 + 4 = 13

Finally, 13x = 13. Divide 13 ÷ 13 to get 1.

x = 1

In a certain town, the wind speed, x, in km/h on a certain day is described by two statements: If 2 times the wind speed is incr
hodyreva [135]
<span>1) if 2 times the wind speed is increased by 2, the wind speed is still less than 46 km/h.

=> 2x + 2 < 46

2) Twice the wind speed minus 27 is greater than 11 km/h.

=> 2x - 27 > 11

Part A: Create a compound inequality to represent the wind speed range. (3 points)


from 2x + 2 < 46

=> 2x < 44

=> x < 22

from 2x - 27 > 11

=> 2x > 11 + 27

=> 2x > 38

=> x > 19

The set of inequalities is

2x + 2 <46
2x - 27 > 11

The solution is x < 22 and x > 19, which is:

19 < x < 22 <----- answer

Part B: Can the wind speed in this town be 20 km/h? Justify your answer by solving the inequalities in Part A. (3 points)

Yes, the wind speed can be 20 km/h, because the solution of the inequality is the range (19,22).

Part C: The average wind speed in another town is 23 km/h, but the actual wind speed is within 4 km/h of the average. Write and solve an inequality to find the range of wind speed in this town.

x ≥ 23 - 4 => x ≥ 19

x ≤ 23 + 4=> x ≤ 27

=> 19 ≤ x ≤ 27

=> [19,27]
