Subtract 39 from both sides
-7x = -4 - 39
Simplify -4 - 39 to -43
-7x = -43
Divide both sides by -7
x = -43/-7
Two negative make a positive
<u>x = 43/7</u>
<em>For the second equation;</em>
Simplify brackets
7x + 7 = 4
Subtract 7 from both sides
7x = 4 - 7
Simplify 4 - 7 to -3
7x = -3
Divide both sides by 7
<u>x = -3/7</u>
84-18=66
66 divided by 11 =6

Let's have the first number, the larger number, be <em>x</em>. We'll have the second, smaller number be <em>y</em>.
We know that x = y + 6, since x is 6 greater than y.
We also know that 330 = x + y.
Because x = y + 6, 330 = y + 6 + y, which simplifies to 330 = 2y + 6.
Now all we need to do is simplify the equation. First, we subtract 6 from both sides:
330 - 6 = 324
2y + 6 - 6 = 2y.
So we have 324 = 2y. Then we divide both sides by 2 to get:
162 = y
Plug in y = 162 into the equation x = y + 6 to get:
x = 162 + 6
x = 168
Let's check to make sure our answer is right. 168 is 6 more than 162. 162 + 168 equals 330. So our two numbers are 168 and 162.
For the answer to the question above,
First, let's make the equation,
(1/6) + (1/x) = 1/(3/2) = (2/3) = (4/6)
then
1/x = (3/6) = (1/2)
so the answer would be
x = 2
