Answer:

a) x = -10

b) x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x + 3) = x - 4

2x + 6 = x - 4

2x - x = -4 - 6

x = -10

4(5x - 2) = 2(9x + 3)

20x - 8 = 18x + 6

20x - 18x = 6 + 8

2x = 14

x = 7

a. 2(x+3)=x-4
2x+6=x-4
2x-x=-4-6 (collecting like terms)
x=-10

b. 4(5x-2)=2(9x+3)
20x-8=18x+6
20x-18x=6+8 (collecting like terms)
2x=14
x=7

What is 1/6x=4 in solving equations with rational coefficients

Debora [2.8K]

To solve an equation with a rational (fraction) coefficient you need to multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal (invert the fraction - flip it).

$\frac{1}{6}x =4$ The reciprocal of 1/6 is 6/1 or 6
$6( \frac{1}{6} x)= 6(4)$ The product of reciprocals equals 1
1x = 24
x = 24

nordsb [41]

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount of apples in one bag:

$x + y + z$

Hence, total amount of apples in two bags:

$2(x + y + z)$

$2x + 2y + 2z$

$x + x + y + y + z + z$

Hence, B, D and E are correct.

A is incorrect because you are adding 2 more apples on top of the total amount of apples in one bag, and you cannot assume that there are 2 apples in each bag.

C is incorrect because you are multiplying the apples together, but you are supposed to add them up to find the total.

F is incorrect because you are finding 1/2 a bag.
