Consider the equations 4(x-3)=16 and 4x-3=16 do they have the same solution? Why or why not ?

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: Both the equations when solved have different answers, the solutions for both the equation are given below. In the the first equation 4 (x-3)=16 , 4 is multiplied with both the terms in the bracket. Whereas, in the second equation 4x- 2 = 16 there is no variable to multiply with the LHS equation

Solution:

4 (x-3)=16

4x - 12 = 16

4x = 16 + 12

4x = 28

x = 7

4x - 3 = 16

4x = 16 + 3

4x = 19

x = 19/4

x = 4.75

How do i solve this?

Ierofanga [76]

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−36=p−30

Step 2: Flip the equation.

p−30=−36

Step 3: Add 30 to both sides.

p−30+30=−36+30

p=−6

$\bf 4(x+5)^3(x-1)^2-(x+5)^4\cdot 2(x-1)
\\\\\\

\\\\\\
2(x+5)^3(x-1)~[~2(x-1)-(x+5)~]
\\\\\\
