Solve for x. 2 1/2x − 3/4 (2x+5) = 38 ASAP

svetoff [14.1K]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

  x = 41 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

(2 1/2)x -(3/4)(2x +5) = 38

(2 1/2)x -(1 1/2)x -15/4 = 38 . . . . use the distributive property

x = 38 +3 3/4 . . . . . . add 15/4

x = 41 3/4

_____

Another way to solve this is to "clear fractions" by multiplying the whole equation by 4:

  10x -3(2x +5) = 152

  4x -15 = 152 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  4x = 167 . . . . . . . add 15

  x = 41 3/4 . . . . . . divide by 4

Solve the system of equations by graphing: -1/3x + y=-1, y=4+1/3x
Arada [10]

-\frac{1}{3}x + y = -1   ⇒   y = \frac{1}{3}x - 1

To graph this line, plot a point at the y-intercept (0, -1), than plot the next point using the rise over run from the slope (\frac{1}{3}) by counting up 1 and to the right 3 of the y-intercept.  This gives you a second point of (3. 0).  Draw a line through those two coordinates.

Answer: Plot (0, -1) and (3, 0) and draw a line through them.

***************************************************************************************

y = 4 +  \frac{1}{3}x    ⇒   y =  \frac{1}{3}x  + 4

Same as above.  Plot the y-intercept (0, 4) and then use rise over run from the slope to plot (3, 5).

Answer: Plot (0, 4) and (3, 5) and draw a line through them.

***********************************************************************************

You should end up with two PARALLEL lines.  Since the lines never intersect, there are no solutions to this system of equations.

Answer: No Solution
