Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x + 9) = 10

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS =

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

...and is your order of operation.

First, divide 5 from both sides:

(5(x + 9))/5 = (10)/5

x + 9 = 10/5

x + 9 = 2

Next, isolate the variable x, by subtracting 9 from both sides:

x + 9 (-9) = 2 (-9)

x = 2 - 9

x = -7

x = -7 is your answer.

Solve the rational equation 1/n-4 - 2/n = 3/4-n
Leokris [45]

Answer:

n=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation: \[\frac{1}{n-4}-\frac{2}{n}=\frac{3}{4-n}\]

Simplifying the Left Hand Side of the equation by taking the LCM of the denominator terms:

\[\frac{n}{n*(n-4)}-\frac{2*(n-4)}{n*(n-4)}=\frac{3}{4-n}\]

=> \[\frac{n - 2*(n-4)}{n*(n-4)}=\frac{3}{4-n}\]

=> \[\frac{n - 2n + 8}{n*(n-4)}=\frac{3}{4-n}\]

=> \[\frac{8 - n}{n*(n-4)}=\frac{3}{4-n}\]

=> \[(8-n)*(4-n) =n*(n-4)*3\]

=> \[n-8 =3n\]

=> \[2n =8\]

=> n = 4
