and sorry i do not understand (a)
Answer:
x= -1
Step-by-step explanation:
4x+3=x
we subtract x to both sides of the equation:
4x -x +3 = x-x
we have:
3x +3 = 0
we subtract 3 to both sides of the equation:
3x +3 -3 = -3
3x = -3
we divide by 3 both sides of the equation
3x/3 = -3/3
x= -1
we test the result in the original equation:
4x+3=x
4*(-1) + 3 = -1
-4 +3 = -1
-1 = -1
so finally x= -1
Take 5 to the left:
(10×5)x = y
50x = y
Answer:
45
Step-by-step explanation:
A number consists of 2 digits whose sum is 9 => x + y = 9
If the order of the numbers is inverted, the result is equal to the given number plus 9 units => (10*y + x) + 9 = (10*x + y)
Thus:
x + y = 9 => multiply by -9 => 9*y + 9*x = 81
10*y + x + 9 = 10*x + y => 9*y - 9*x = -9
We are left then that:
9*y + 9*x = 81 (1)
9*y - 9*x = -9 (2)
we add both equations
18y = 72
y = 72/18 = 4
replacing
x + y = 9
x + 4 = 9
x = 5
Therefore the number is (10y + x) => (10 * 4 + 5) => 45
