How to solve equation with variable on both sides

You combine like terms. You could subtract the positive term from both sides and divide to get the variable alone

You combine the like terms by canceling out one side of the equation for the number with no variable, and the one with the variable, but they must be on different sides.

Then, you get the variable by itself, by dividing (in this equation, sometimes you will multiply, if there is a fraction)<span>

Example:<span>

<em>4x - 1 = 2x + 7</em>
     </span><u>+ 1</u>         <u>+ 1
</u>
<em>4x = 2x + 8</em>
<u>- 2x</u>  <u>- 2x
</u><span><span>
<em>2x = 8</em></span></span>
<span><span>
<em>2x </em></span></span><u>/2</u> <em>= 8</em> <u>/2
</u>
<em>x = 4</em></span>

Probability cards <br> How to solve this, I don’t get it all all?
Ronch [10]
There are 12 cards with different letters & patterns. The probability of randomly choosing [random card] is #[random card]/total cards.

Think of that as ratio as a %chance or probability of written as P(X). The question says to write the %chance as a fraction.

1) 2/12 = 1/6
2) 2/12 = 1/6
3) 0/12 = 0
4) 12/12 = 1
5) This is tricky. M & T would imply one card with both letters on it. 0/12 = 0
6) 4/12 = 1/3
7) 6/12 = 1/2
8) 5/12
9) 3/12 = 1/4
10) 8/12 = 2/3
11) 10/12 = 5/6
12) Odds = [favorable]:[unfavorable] = 5:7

What is -34 1/2 - 5 1/2
Verizon [17]

The answer is -40 because if you get rid of the negative sign and add instead of subtract... you get 40 so its like adding in the opposite direction.

Solve the system of linear equations by substitution.<br> y=X-4<br> - 2x+y= 18
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

] y=x-4

-2x+y=18

y - x = -4

y - 2x = 18

equation [2] for the variable y

[2] y = 2x + 18

// Plug this in for variable y in equation [1]

[1] (2x+18) - x = -4

[1] x = -22

// Solve equation [1] for the variable x

[1] x = - 22

// By now we know this much :

y = 2x+18

x = -22

// Use the x value to solve for y

y = 2(-22)+18 = -26
