Consider the first equation : -3x-8=19.
Adding 8 to both sides, we get -3x=27. Dividing by -3 yields the solution x=-9.
Consider the first equation : -3x-2=25.
Adding 2 to both sides, we get -3x=27. Dividing by -3 yields the solution x=-9, again.
Thus, the 2 equations have the same solution.
We could have achieved this result also by noticing that the second equation is equivalent to first one, adding 6 to both sides.
Answer: A) The equations have the same solution because the second can be obtained by adding 6 to both sides of the first equation.
Answer:
X=5.7
Step-by-step explanation:
5x-3-2x/7=24
We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand
5x-3-2x/7=24
Simplifying:
5x-3-0.285714285714x=24
We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.
+5x-0.285714285714x=+24+3
We simplify left and right side of the equation.
+4.71428571429x=+27
We divide both sides of the equation by 4.71428571429 to get x.
x=5.72727272727
17-8 because they both have just 1 added to them
6.7 x 10x1. Move decimal once to the right to make 6.7
