Answer:

This how you get x. First the way to find the answer is to first put 5x by itself by canceling it out and putting it on the other side of the = which will be

5x-(x-18)=

-5x -5

Which then gets you this

-(x-18)=-5x

After that its

x-18=-5x

once you have this subtract x

x-18=-5x

-x -x

-18=-6x

Then it leaves you the easy part of just dividing

-18/-6x=-6x/-6x

After dividing you get x to be 3

x=3

Once you have x=3 input that number into your equation and you get the answer.

Hope this helps

3 * n + 2 = ? 2 * n + 7 = ?

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

1.3n+2

2.2n+7

Step-by-step explanation:

for number 1.you are multiplying 3 and n which gives you 3n but 2 you cant because it dosent have a variable to times with it says plus instead of times.

and for number 2 it the same thing 2 times n equals 2n + 7 is 2n + 7 .

If this doesnt help then im sorry but this is how i know and yeah have a wonderful day.

QUESTION 1

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

1st Error: In going from Step 3 to Step 3.

Reason: Negative sign is not distributed inside the brackets.

2nd Error: In going from Step 5 to Step 6

Reason: Sign of the number is not changed while moving to other side of inequality,

a) 12=-4(-6x-3) and x+5=-5x+5

b) -(7-4x)=9 and 5x+34=-2(1-7x) and -8=-(x+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1)

The given inequality is:

$\frac{5}{12}-\frac{x-3}{6} \leq \frac{x-2}{3}$

Step 1: Making the denominators common for all fractions

$\frac{5}{12}-\frac{2}{2} \times \frac{x-3}{6} \leq \frac{4}{4} \times \frac{x-2}{3}$

This step is done correctly in the given solution.

Step 2: Simplifying

$\frac{5}{12}-\frac{2x-6}{12}\leq \frac{4x-8}{12}$

This step is done correctly in the given solution

Step 3: Multiplying both sides by 12, and simplifying.

$5-(2x-6)\leq 4x-8\\\\ 5-2x+6\leq 4x-8$

First error is made in this step. While opening the brackets, the negative sign should be distributed inside the bracket, which will change the signs.

Step 4: Simplification:

$11-2x\leq 4x-8$

Step 5: Moving Common terms to one side and simplifying

$-2x-4x\leq -8-11\\\\ -6x\leq -19$

Error was made in this step. When a number is moved to other side, its sign will be changed.

Step 6: Dividing both sides by -6

$x\geq \frac{19}{6}$

Conclusion:

1st Error: In going from Step 3 to Step 3.

Reason: Negative sign is not distributed inside the brackets.

2nd Error: In going from Step 5 to Step 6

Reason: Sign of the number is not changed while moving to other side of inequality,

Question 2:

In the Equation 2: 12=-4(-6x-3), when -4 will be multiplied inside the brackets, the 12 on eft hand side will cancel the 12 that will appear on right hand side, giving a result that will lead to x = 0.

Same is the case with Equation 6: x+5=-5x+5, 5 on both sides will cancel out leaving x = 0.

So, 2nd and 6th equations will have the same solution.

In Equation 1, on expanding the bracket and moving 7 to other side, we get a relation: 4x = 16

In Equation 3, on simplifying the right hand side, and carrying common terms to one side, we get the relation: - 9x = -36

In Equation 5, on expanding the bracket and simplifying the relation is reduced to 4 = x

It can be observed that all these 3 equations have the same solution i.e. x = 4

So, the following set of Equations have the same solution:

a) 12=-4(-6x-3) and x+5=-5x+5

b) -(7-4x)=9 and 5x+34=-2(1-7x) and -8=-(x+4)
