• What is the solution to 5x+ 20 = 7(x+2)?

Mathematics

6 0

For this case we must find the solution of the following equation:

5x + 20 = 7 (x + 2)

Applying distributive property on the right side of the equation we have:

5x + 20 = 7x + 14

Subtracting 7x from both sides of the equation:

5x-7x + 20 = 14\\-2x + 20 = 14

Subtracting 20 from both sides of the equation:

-2x = 14-20

Different signs are subtracted and the major sign is placed.

-2x = -6

Dividing between -2 on both sides of the equation:

x = \frac {-6} {- 2}\\x = 3

Thus, the solution of the equation isx = 3

Answer:

x = 3

Find the solution to the system 4x - y = -12 and -x - y = 3
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

x = -3 , y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{4 x - y = -12 | (equation 1)

-x - y = 3 | (equation 2)

Add 1/4 × (equation 1) to equation 2:

{4 x - y = -12 | (equation 1)

0 x - (5 y)/4 = 0 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 4/5:

{4 x - y = -12 | (equation 1)

0 x - y = 0 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by -1:

{4 x - y = -12 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 0 | (equation 2)

Add equation 2 to equation 1:

{4 x+0 y = -12 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 0 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 4:

{x+0 y = -3 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 0 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = -3 , y = 0
