Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

2(4x + 1) = 18

Reorder the terms:

2(1 + 4x) = 18

(1 * 2 + 4x * 2) = 18

(2 + 8x) = 18

Solving

2 + 8x = 18

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.

2 + -2 + 8x = 18 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0

0 + 8x = 18 + -2

8x = 18 + -2

Combine like terms: 18 + -2 = 16

8x = 16

Divide each side by '8'.

x = 2

Simplifying

x = 2

The answer is 2.5

2 (4x - 1) = 18
8x - 2 = 18
8x = 20
x = 2.5

Help solving this problem

amid [387]

2t + 5b = 20
8t + 3b = 29
Multiply the first equation by-4
-8t -20b = -80
8t + 3b = 29
-17b = -51
b = 3
Plug 3 in for b into either equation and solve for t.
2t + 5(3) = 20
2t + 15 = 20
2t = 5
Divide both sides by 2
t = 2.50

One-third of a number is 2 greater than one-sixth of the same number. What is the number?

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

number is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

One-third of a number is 2 greater than one-sixth of the same number

Let the unknown number be x

One-third of x is 2 more than one-sixth of x

$\frac{1}{3} x=2+\frac{1}{6} x$

least common denominator is 6, multiply each term by 6

$2x=12+x$

subtract x from both sides

x=12

So the number is 12
