Answer:

x=13

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to isolate the variable

3(x-4)=x+14

distribute

3x-12=x+14

subtract 14 from each side

3x-26=x

subtract 3x from each side

-26=-2x

divide each side by -2

13=x

flip sides

x=13

hope this helps!!! :)

Answer:

X= 8.6666

Step-by-step explanation:

First multiply ehat is on the outside by the inside.

3×X=3x

3×-4= -12.

Now you have 3X-12= X+14

First add -12 to 14.

Your goal is to get all the numbers on one side and the letters on the other side.

12+14=26.

Now you have 3X=26

To get the X by itself divide 3 on both sides.

X÷3= X

26÷3=8.6666

So your answer is X=8.6666

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

  • cookie: $1.25
  • cupcake: $2.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the cost of a cookie and a cupcake, respectively.

  4x +3y = 13.25

  5x +2y = 11.75 . . . . . . the system of equations

___

By Cramer's rule:

  x = (3(11.75) -2(13.25))/(3(5) -2(4)) = 8.75/7 = 1.25

  y = (13.25(5) -11.75(4))/7 = 19.25/7 = 2.75

The cost of one cookie is $1.25; the cost of one cupcake is $2.75.

_____

Cramer's rule gives the solution to the system of equations ...

  ax +by =c

  dx +ey = f

as ...

  ∆ = bd -ea

  x = (bf -ec)/∆

  y = (cd -fa)/∆
