Why can't the input value be negative?

ddd [48]

If you are working with time or days, you can't put in a negative value because if you are doing an experiment, you can't go back in time to do that experiment to gather data. (Time for the most part considered to be an input value so that's why I used it as an example.)

15x-7=2+12x I need help with this

Amanda [17]

Answer:

$\huge{ \boxed{ \bold{ \tt{x = 3}}}}$

<h3>♁ Question : Solve for x</h3>

15x - 7 = 2 + 12x

<h3>♁ Step - by - step explanation</h3>

$\text{15x - 7 = 2 + 12x}$

Move 12x to L.H.S ( Left Hand Side ) and change it's sign

➛ $\sf{15x - 12x - 7 = 2}$

Move 7 to R.H.S ( Right Hand Side) and change it's sign

➛ $\sf{15x - 12x = 2 + 7}$

Subtract 12x from 15x

Remember that only coefficients of like terms can be added or subtracted.

➛ $\sf{3x = 2 + 7}$

Add the numbers : 2 and 7

➛ $\sf{3x = 9}$

Divide both sides by 3

➛ $\sf{ \frac{3x}{3} = \frac{9}{3}}$

➛ $\boxed{ \bold{ \sf{x = 3}}}$

The value of x is $\boxed{ \sf{3}}$

✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄

☄ Now, let's check whether the value of x is 3 or not!

<h3>☥ Verification :</h3>

$\sf{15x - 7 = 2 + 12x}$

$\dashrightarrow{ \sf{15 \times 3 - 7 = 2 + 12 \times 3}}$

$\dashrightarrow{ \sf{45 - 7 = 2 + 36}}$

$\dashrightarrow{ \sf{38 = 38}}$

L.H.S = R.H.S ( Hence , the value of x is 3 ).

✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄ ✄

<h3>✒ Rules for solving an equation :</h3>

If an equation contains fractions ,multiply each term by the L.C.M of denominators.
Remove the brackets , if any.
Collect the terms with the variable to the left hand side and constant terms to the right hand side by changing their sign ' + ' into ' - ' and ' - ' into ' + ' .
Simplify and get the single term on each side.
Divide each side by the coefficient of variable and then get the value of variable.

Hope I helped!

Have a wonderful time ! ツ

Pls help due ASAP <br> Show workings please!!!

Vlad [161]

Answer:

AB=8

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you get figure out x. Since both sides are equal, use the equation x+3=2x-2, then subtract x from both sides, 3=x-2, and then add 2 to both sides, x=5. Then use one of the equations to get the length of the side, I used x+3=8, which is your answer.

(hope this helps :P)
