Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:     6  29  7  42

6)  a number x increased by -18

             x + (-18)    

   or       x -  18

7)    x subtracted from its reciprocal

              1/x  - x  

8)   two numbers have the sum of 11, one number is q find the other

             x + q = 11

             x + q - q = 11 - q       q - q = 0

              x + 0  = 11 - q

              x = 11 - q

9)    six is added to 4 times a number equals 42, find the number

      ( I don't know the six steps discussed in class.  This is how I would do it)

             6 + 4x = 42

             6 - 6 + 4x = 42 - 6              isolate the variable,  - 6 from both sides

             0 + 4x = 36                            6 - 6 = 0,  43 - 6 = 36, solve for x

                4x/4 = 36/4                      divide both sides by 4

                  1x  =  36 /4                        4/4 = 1

                  x  =   9
