This is a linear equation in x.
So you need to group like terms
Let us group the x terms on the Right Hand Side of the equation and the constant terms on the Left Hand Side.
We can now simplify
Now let us divide both sides by 3.
This implies that
or
Let us our answer
Good we are right
Answer: 1 1/2
Step-by-step explanation: So you have 9 pounds and you have to distribute it out between 6 bags, so 9 divided by 6 you get 1 1/2 and so 1 1/2 pounds of sand go into each small bag
Answer:
11. x = 6; y = 6.5
12. x = 2; y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
In each figure, the hash marks on the lines indicate the parallel lines (marked with red arrows) are equally-spaced. That means the two expressions involving x are equal to each other, and the two expressions involving y are equal to each other.
__
11. 2x +1 = x +7
x = 6 . . . . . . . subtract (x+1) from both sides
and
3y -8 = y +5
2y = 13 . . . . add (8-y) to both sides
y = 6.5 . . . . divide by the coefficient of y
__
12. x +3 = 3/2x +2
1 = 1/2x . . . . . subtract (x+2)
2 = x . . . . . . . multiply by 2
and
2y -1 = 3y -5
4 = y . . . . . . add (5 -2y)
Answer: Less
Step-by-step explanation: Ok lets make them both have a common denominator. This is 36. So 1/4 is going to be 9/36 and 3/9 is going to be 12/36
