What is the value of X?
Simplify:
8x - 10 - 4x = - 12(12x - 20)
Simplify both sides:
8x - 10 - 4x = - 12(12x -20)
8x + - 10 + - 4x = (- 12)(12x) + ( -12)(- 20)
(Distribute:)
8x + - 10 + - 4x = 144x 240
(8x + - 4x) + ( -10) = - 144x + 240 (Combine Like Terms:)
4x + - 10 = - 144x + 240
4x - 10 = - 144x + 240
Add - 144x to both sides:
4x - 10 + 144x = - 144x + 240 + 144x
148x - 10 = 240
Add 10 to both sides:
148x - 10 + 10 = 240 + 10
148x = 250
Divide both sides by 148
148x/148 = 250/148
x = 125/74
Answer: x = 125/74 (Decimal: 1.689189)
Hope that helps!!!!
2. an=20+an−1 and a1=145
she starts with 145 so a1=145 and then adds 20 every month: an=20+an−1
Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify both sides of the equation.
2x−1−(−x + 3)=6−2x
(Distribute the Negative Sign)
2x−1 + −1(−x + 3)=6−2x
2x + −1 + −1(−x) + (−1)(3)=6−2x
2x + −1 + x + −3=6−2x
2x + −1 + x + −3=6 + −2x
(Combine Like Terms)
(2x + x) + (−1 + −3)=−2x+6
3x + −4=−2x + 6
3x−4=−2x + 6
Add 2x to both sides.
3x−4 + 2x=−2x + 6 + 2x
5x−4=6
Add 4 to both sides.
5x−4 + 4=6 + 4
5x=10
Divide both sides by 5.
5x/5=10/5
x=2
