Answer:
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
12 = 24 - 4 (-6 x - 3)
-4 (-6 x - 3) = 24 x + 12:
12 = 24 x + 12 + 24
Grouping like terms, 24 x + 12 + 24 = 24 x + (12 + 24):
12 = 24 x + (12 + 24)
12 + 24 = 36:
12 = 24 x + 36
12 = 24 x + 36 is equivalent to 24 x + 36 = 12:
24 x + 36 = 12
Subtract 36 from both sides:
24 x + (36 - 36) = 12 - 36
36 - 36 = 0:
24 x = 12 - 36
12 - 36 = -24:
24 x = -24
Divide both sides of 24 x = -24 by 24:
(24 x)/24 = (-24)/24
24/24 = 1:
x = (-24)/24
The gcd of -24 and 24 is 24, so (-24)/24 = (24 (-1))/(24×1) = 24/24×-1 = -1:
Answer: x = -1
Answer:
x = -1.5
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Alg</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
0.2x + 1 = 1.6x + 3.1
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Subtract 0.2x on both sides: 1 = 1.4x + 3.1
- Subtract 3.1 on both sides: -2.1 = 1.4x
- Divide both sides by 1.4: -1.5 = x
- Rewrite: x = -1.5
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitution: 0.2(-1.5) + 1 = 1.6(-1.5) + 3.1
- Multiply: -0.3 + 1 = -2.4 + 3.1
- Add: 0.7 = 0.7
I think it is the second one, zero slope :)
