What is the solution to the equation 5(x-3) = 2(x+3)?

1 answer:

8 0

Answer:
x = 7

General Formulas and Concepts:
Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Step-by-Step Explanation:
Step 1: Define
5(x - 3) = 2(x + 3)

Step 2: Solve for x
1. Distribute: 5x - 15 = 2x + 6
2. Subtract 2x on both sides: 3x - 15 = 6
3. Add 15 on both sides: 3x = 21
4. Divide both sides by 3: x = 7

Find the x- and y-intercepts for the linear equation –3x + 4y = 24.

Sav [38]

Answer:

x- intercept = - 8, y- intercept = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x- intercept let y = 0 and solve for x

- 3x + 4(0) = 24

- 3x = 24 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = - 8 ← x- intercept

To find the y- intercept let x = 0 and solve for y

- 3(0) + 4y = 24

4y = 24 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y = 6 ← y- intercept

Solve this equation 4-2x-12-2x+1

alina1380 [7]

This is not an equation because it lacks an equal sign....so the only thing we can do here is combine like terms.
4 - 2x - 12 - 2x + 1 =
-4x - 7

If x = y then 3x = 3y gemotry prove

otez555 [7]

Multiplying both sides of an equation by the same number keeps the equation true. In this example, both sides are multiplied by 3, so the equation isn't changed.

Write the expression without the fraction bar.

kirill115 [55]

For problems like this you can move the y's on the bottem up top by fliping the sign of the exponent (in this case 7 to -7) and MULTIPLYING it with EVERYTHING on top, then because of properties of multplication you can add the exponents to combine them into one term (in this case add 3 and -7 to get -4) $\frac{ y^{3} }{y^{7}}=y^3 *y^{-7} = y^{3+-7}=y^{3-7}=y^-4$ If any of this does not make sense let me know and ill try to clarify better
