Answer:

x = 1/3

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

4x + 1 = 3 - 2x

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Add 2x on both sides:                    6x + 1 = 3
  2. Subtract 1 on both sides:                6x = 2
  3. Divide 6 on both sides:                   x = 1/3

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute:                    4(1/3) + 1 = 3 - 2(1/3)
  2. Multiply:                        4/3 + 1 = 3 - 2/3
  3. Add/Subtract:               7/3 = 7/3

Here we see that 7/3 does indeed equal 7/3.

∴ x = 1/3 is a solution of the equation.

Answer:

x=1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+1=3-2x

Add 2x to both sides

6x+1=3

Subtract 1 on both sides

6x=2

x=2/6

A fruit company delivers its fruit in two types of boxes: large and small. Delivery of 8 large boxes and 4 small boxes has a tot
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

x = 18.5 (large) , y = 6.25 (small)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by assigning variables to each type of box.

The large box we will call "x"

The small box we will call "y"

We know that 8x + 4y = 173 (kilograms)

And 3x + 2y = 68 (kilograms)

Since we set up a system of equations, we can now use elimination, by multiplying the entire bottom equation by -2, to get rid of the "y" variable.

8x + 4y = 173

3x(-2) + 2y(-2) = 68(-2)

-6x + -4y = -136  (side note: notice how the "y"'s would cancel each other out because -4y + 4y equals 0)

Add equations together:

2x = 37

x= 18.5

Now that we have x, just substitute it into any of the equations to get y.

You will see that y = 6.25

Please mark this brainliest, and I hope this helps!

Could someone help me bc idkk how this works
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

the answer is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the interest rate is if he had $1 in the account for a year you would add the 18% or in decimel form 0.0018 do that to the 15th to get 15 years and multiply that by 5000 because that was the ammount of money he put in so 5000(1*0.0018)15 or 0.0018^15*5000
