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
Now, let's do the same as we did for the previous one here.
notice again, how did we get 84 for the 4th element's coefficient? well 36 * 7 / 3. and so on. And you can just expand it from there.
Answer:
x = 1/y
Step-by-step explanation:
The two numbers I will call x and y.
x + y = 31
x * y = 150
You then solve for one variable in either equation and substitute it into the other equation.
x + y = 31
x = 31 - y
Then you plug it in:
x * y = 150
(31 - y) * y = 150
-y² + 31y = 150
y² - 31y + 150 = 0 Then factor:
(y - 6)(y - 25) = 0
y - 6 = 0 y - 25 = 0
y = 6 y = 25
When you plug y into the original equations, it comes out that the two numbers are 6 and 25. You can check your work because 6+25 = 31 and 6*25 = 150. Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
75%
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that 60% of x is 120. we can rewrite this to .6x = 120, to get x we divide both sides by .6, so x = 200. now 120 + 30 = 150. then we divide 150 out of 200 which is .75 it 75%
