Answer:
No, Ivory is incorrect. The equation does have a solution, and the solution is x = -1.
Step-by-step explanation:
We try to solve the equation first.
2x + 2 = x + 1
We want all variables on the left side and all numbers on the right side.
Subtract x from both sides.
x + 2 = 1
Subtract 2 from both sides.
x = -1
Check: Plug in -1 for x on both sides and see if it makes a true statement.
2x + 2 = x + 1
2(-1) + 2 = -1 + 1
-2 + 2 = 0
0 = 0
0 = 0 is a true statement, so the solution x = -1 is the correct solution.
Answer: Ivory is incorrect. The equation does have a solution, and the solution is x = -1.
Answer:
A man borrows * 8000
He agrees to repay with a total interest of 1360 in 12 monthly instalments.
Each instalment being less than the preceding one by * 40
= 
x 40
= 12 x 34
= 408 (Ans)
X³ = 125/27
Cube root both sides to isolate the variable:
∛x³ = ∛(125/27)
x = ∛(125/27)
∛125 = 5, ∛27 = 3
x = 5/3
Answer:
60
Step-by-step explanation:
You need the least common multiple of 5, 3, and 4.
5 = 5, 10, 15, 20, 25... 60
3= 3, 6, 9...60
4=4, 8, 12, ...60
