Answer: x = 0
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
4(7 - 3x) = 7(4 - 2x)
28 - 12x = 28 - 14x <em>distributed</em>
28 + 2x = 28 <em>added 14x to both sides</em>
2x = 0 <em>subtracted 28 from both sides</em>
x = 0 <em>divided both sides by 2</em>
like terms include terms that you can add/sub/mult/div - certain terms..
for example 23 and 7 are like terms, 4x and 56x are like terms....
here-> 12 and 3 are like terms so you can put them together:
12 + 3 - 4x
then you can simplify it:
15 - 4x is your answer (most simplified)
Answer:
q = 3 + 1/2r
Step-by-step explanation:
10q - 5r = 30
We want to solve for q
Add 5r to each side
10q - 5r+5r = 30+5r
10q = 30+5r
Divide by 10
10q/10 = 30/10 +5r/10
q = 3 + 1/2r
