24x-70
1. Distribute aka mulitply the numbers inside the parenthesis by the numbers to the left of them.
2. Stack them to add them:
18x-30
+6x-70
______
24x-70
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
x−7=15+3x
x+−7=15+3x
x−7=3x+15
Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.
x−7−3x=3x+15−3x
−2x−7=15
Step 3: Add 7 to both sides.
−2x−7+7=15+7
−2x=22
Step 4: Divide both sides by -2.
−2x/−2=22/−2
x=−11
First off, let's find the 1st term's value, and the 30th term's value,
Answer:
The method of solving "by substitution" works by solving one of the equations (you choose which one) for one of the variables (you choose which one), and then plugging this back into the other equation, "substituting" for the chosen variable and solving for the other.
Step-by-step explanation:
