X/5-2=x/2+3 solve for x
Makovka662 [10]
Solve for x:x/5 - 2 = x/2 + 3
Put each term in x/5 - 2 over the common denominator 5: x/5 - 2 = x/5 - (10)/5:x/5 - (10)/5 = x/2 + 3
x/5 - (10)/5 = (x - 10)/5:(x - 10)/5 = x/2 + 3
Put each term in x/2 + 3 over the common denominator 2: x/2 + 3 = x/2 + 6/2:(x - 10)/5 = x/2 + 6/2
x/2 + 6/2 = (x + 6)/2:(x - 10)/5 = (x + 6)/2
Multiply both sides by 10:(10 (x - 10))/5 = (10 (x + 6))/2
10/5 = (5×2)/5 = 2:2 (x - 10) = (10 (x + 6))/2
10/2 = (2×5)/2 = 5:2 (x - 10) = 5 (x + 6)
Expand out terms of the left hand side:2 x - 20 = 5 (x + 6)
Expand out terms of the right hand side:2 x - 20 = 5 x + 30
Subtract 5 x from both sides:(2 x - 5 x) - 20 = (5 x - 5 x) + 30
2 x - 5 x = -3 x:-3 x - 20 = (5 x - 5 x) + 30
5 x - 5 x = 0:-3 x - 20 = 30
Add 20 to both sides:(20 - 20) - 3 x = 20 + 30
20 - 20 = 0:-3 x = 30 + 20
30 + 20 = 50:-3 x = 50
Divide both sides of -3 x = 50 by -3:(-3 x)/(-3) = 50/(-3)
(-3)/(-3) = 1:x = 50/(-3)
Multiply numerator and denominator of 50/(-3) by -1:Answer:  x = (-50)/3

Can someone help me with this exercise?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You treat inequality questions just like normal equation with an equal sign. You only have to worry about the inequality when you do the shading part.

Your first goal is to solve for y, which I did at the top.

And remember that when you divide/multiply by a negative number you have to flip the inequality sign.

So the first equation is already in term of y. (y < 2x + 4)

So you only have to solve for y for -3x - 2y ≥ 6.

I solved that and got y ≤ -3/2x - 3.

Now you have 2 equations. y < 2x + 4 and y ≤ -3/2x - 3

First you gotta treat it like a normal equation and graph them.

So i graphed y = 2x + 4 and y = -3/2x - 3. I assume you already know how do do that.

btw. < and > have dotted lines, while ≤ and ≥ have solid lines.

Now for the shading, you gotta look at the inequality sign.

y < 2x + 4 has a less than sign, so you have to shade everything underneath the line you graphed.

y ≤ -3/2x - 3 is also less than, so you have to shade everything underneath that line as well.

So in the future, you you get a > or ≥ then you have to shade above the graph.
