Solve for x: 2(x+3)+2=4x-12

Mathematics
1 answer:
saw5 [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Our equation is: 2(x+3)+2 = 4x - 12

Distribute: 2x+6+2 = 4x - 12

Combine like terms: 2x + 8 = 4x - 12

Rearrange terms: 8 + 12 = 4x - 2x

Simplify: 20 = 2x

Therefore: x = 10

Solve each equation. Record your work and check your solution. <br> a. 5(x-2)+(-9)= -7(1-x)
Daniel [21]

The solution for equation is x = -6

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given equation is:</u></em>

5(x-2) + (-9) = -7(1-x)

We have to solve the equation

According to Bodmas rule, if an expression contains brackets ((), {}, []) we have to first solve or simplify the bracket followed by of (powers and roots etc.), then division, multiplication, addition and subtraction from left to right

Therefore, solve for brackets in given equation

5(x-2) + (-9) = -7(1-x)\\\\5x - 10 -9 = -7 + 7x

Solve for terms in left hand side of equation

5x - 19 = -7+7x

Move the variables to one side and constants to other side

7x -5x = -19+7\\\\2x = -12\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\\\x = -6

Thus the solution for equation is x = -6

PLEASE HELP!!<br>1y+14=-4y+9 for y. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.​
slega [8]

Answer:

y = -1.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order of operations, and =

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

First, add 4y and subtract 14 from both sides:

1y (+4y) + 14 (-14) = -4y (+4y) + 9 (-14)

1y + 4y = 9 - 14

Combine like terms:

5y = -5

Isolate the variable, y. Divide 5 from both sides:

(5y)/5 = (-5)/5

y = -5/5

y = -1

y = -1 is your answer.
