First set up the equation based on the description.

\frac{1}{3} x + 16 = 3x

Use subtraction to get the "x"s on one side of the equation. You can next subtract <span>\frac{1}{3} x from both sides.

16 = </span>\frac{8}{3}<span> x

Now you can multiply both sides of the equation by </span>\frac{3}{8}<span>  to solve for x

x = 6</span>

How do you solve 10(z-2)=1+4
tamaranim1 [39]

I'm assuming you want us to solve for the unknown variable z

10(z-2)=1+4

Combine like terms on the right side

10(z-2)=5

Use the distributive property on the left side

10z-20=5

Add both sides by 20 to cancel out the "-20" on the left side

10z=25

Divide both sides by 10

z=2.5

That is the value of the known variable, z, in this equation. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
