28. 6x+42-20=6x
42-20=0
42-20 gives you 22
22=0
Statement is false
30. -2x-4=-2x-3-1
-2x-4=-2x-4
Statement is true because both sides are identical
32. 2x+8-5=2x+3
8-5=3
3=3
Statement is true for any value of x
34. 3x+(x+4)=18
3x+x+4=18
4x+4=18
4x=18-4
4x=14 (next divide both sides by 4)
x= 7 over 2
7/2
Exact form: 1/45
Decimal: 0.02
If you observe the two given equations, the left hand side of both equation is the same and is equal to y.
Since the left hand side of two equations is the same, we can conclude that the right hand side of two equations must also be the same.
So, setting them right hand sides of both equations equal to each other and solving for x, we can find the solution to the simultaneous equations.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B
Answer:
a = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
-6(2 + a) = -48
it is basically 2 steps
Divide by -6 first
(2 + a) = -48 / -6
2 + a = 8
minus the 2
a =6
