In Middle School math, it means to find out what number ' x ' must be in order for the equation to be a true statement. In middle school, it can only be one number.

Step-by-step explanation: Solving an equation means finding the value of the variable that makes the equation true.

Let's look at an example.

Solve the following equation.

3x + 1 = 7

To solve the equation, we need to get x by itself on one side and we do that by subtracting 1 from both sides to get 3x = 6. Now just divide both sides of the equation by 2 and we find that x = +2.

Thus, the solution to the equation is x = +2.

So the value of the variable is +2.

If f(x) = e^X, and W(f, g) = 3e^x, find g(x).

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

g(x)=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the answer.

W(f,g)=3e^x which can be written as:

W(f,g)=(3)*(e^x), notice that:

(e^x)=f(x) so:

W(f,g)=3*f(x), establishing:

W(f,g)=g(x)*f(x) then:

g(x)=3

In conclusion, g(x)=3.

Solve the system of equations below algebraically 2x+3y=6 and -5x+2y=4

Charra [1.4K]

Steps
I’m using elimination so I’m trying to get rid of y
To do that I multiply the first equation by 2 and the second by -3. Then solve
4x + 6x = 12
15x + -6x = -12
—————————
19x + 0 = 0
Divid by 19 to get x to one side. 0/19 is 0 so
X= 0
Plug that into an equation so 0 + 3y = 6
Divid by 3 and y = 2
Answer x = 0 y = 2
