2x(3+4a)=-16x+6x Solve please

Mathematics
1 answer:
IRINA_888 [86]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

2x(3 + 4a) = -16x + 6x

(3 * 2x + 4a * 2x) = -16x + 6x

Reorder the terms:

(8ax + 6x) = -16x + 6x

(8ax + 6x) = -16x + 6x

Combine like terms: -16x + 6x = -10x

8ax + 6x = -10x

Solving

8ax + 6x = -10x

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-6x' to each side of the equation.

8ax + 6x + -6x = -10x + -6x

Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0

8ax + 0 = -10x + -6x

8ax = -10x + -6x

Combine like terms: -10x + -6x = -16x

8ax = -16x

Divide each side by '8x'.

a = -2

Simplifying

a = -2 <— answer

Michael's dad is 30 years of age. He is 2 years more than four times Michaels age m. Write and solve a two-step equation to dete
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

The two step equation that we can use to find michael's age is x = (f-2)/4 where f = 30. So Michael is 7 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we will attribute variables to the ages of Michael and his father. For his father age we will attribute a variable called "f" and for Michael's age we will attribute a variable called "x". The first information that the problem gives us is that Michael's dad is 30 years of age, so we have:

f = 30

Then the problem states that the age of the father is 2 years "more" than four "times" Michaels age. The "more" implies a sum and the "times" implies a product, so we have:

f = 2 + 4*x

We can now find Michael's age, for that we need to isolate the "x" variable. We have:

f - 2 = 4*x

4*x = f - 2

x = (f-2)/4

x = (30 - 2)/4 = 7 years

The two step equation that we can use to find michael's age is x = (f-2)/4 where f = 30. So Michael is 7 years old.

1/2(2g-3)=-4(g+1) show work
brilliants [131]
1g-1.5=-4g-4 (distribute 1/2 and -4 inside their respective parenthesis)
1g=-4g-2.5 (add 1.5 to -4)
5g=-2.5 (add 4g to 1g)
g=-0.5 (divide both sides by 5)

Solving inequalities by multiplication and division <br> 1. -8 &lt; 8w
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

w > -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello There!

We want to simplify this expression to be more specific we want to isolate the variable (w) using inverse operations

So we want to get rid of the 8 in 8w

8w is the same as 8 times w (multiplication)

The inverse of multiplication is division so to get rid of the 8 we want to divide by 8 but remember whatever we do to one side we want to do to the other side. So we divide each side by 8

-8/8 = - 1

8w/8=w

we're left with w > -1
