If you have
|a|=b, then solve for the variable in euations
a=b and a=-b
for ineqalities, it is much trickier
for
|a|>b, assume a>b and a<-b
for
|a|<b, asssume -b<a<b
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
n = 5
Discussion:
Let the original number be "n" Translating the problem statement to mathematical symbolism:
n + 4 = 19 - 2n => add 2n to both sides
n + 2n + 4 = 19 - 2n + 2n => combine like terms
3n + 4 = 19 => subtract 4 from both sides
3n = 19 -4 = 15 => divide both sides by 3
n = 15/3 =5
Check: Does 5 +4 = 19 - 2(5)? Does 9 = 9? Yes. so the value for n is confirmed correct.
Thank you,
MrB
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
92/17= 5.4
there are 5 total 17s in 92.
Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
A triangle's total interior angle measurement will equal 180°.
Set all measurements equal to 180:
(82) + (9x - 6) + (6x - 1) = 180
Simplify. Combine like terms:
(82 - 6 - 1) + (9x + 6x) = 180
(82 - 7) + (15x) = 180
(75) + 15x = 180
Next, isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
PEMDAS is the order of operation, and stands for:
Parenthesis
Exponents (& Roots)
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

First, Subtract 75 from both sides of the equation:
15x + 75 = 180
15x + 75 (-75) = 180 (-75)
15x = 180 - 75
15x = 105
Next, divide 15 from both sides of the equation:
(15x)/15 = (105)/15
x = 105/15
x = 7
7 is your value for x.

Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve, we need to isolate the variable, x
5x-18=2(3x-12) +4
Distribute the 2
5x-18=2*3x + 2*-12 +4
5x-18=6x-24+4
Combine like terms (add -24 and 4)
5x-18=6x-20
Add 18 to both sides
5x=6x-2
Subtract 6x from both sides
-x=-2
Divide both sides by -1
x=2
