What is the value of x in the equation 3x − 2 = x + 8?

Mathematics
1 answer:
N76 [4]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the value of x the given equation: 3x-2=x+8

the goal when solving for equations is to isolate the variable onto one side, and have the number (value of what x is) on the other side

here's the equation:

3x-2=x+8

first, add 2 to both sides

3x-2=x+8

   +2   +2

___________

3x=x+10 (2 goes away on the left side, as -2+2=0)

now, subtract x from both sides

3x=x+10

-x   -x

______

2x=10 (x goes away on the right side, as x-x=0)

we have the variable isolated on one side, with the number on the other, but we need the value of x by itself (1x)

divide both sides by 2

x=5 (because 2x/2=1x, or x. 10/2=5).

therefore, the value of x is 5

Hope this helps!

Does anyone know what the √2.25 is when rewritten as a fraction?
Zinaida [17]

Answer:  \sqrt{\frac{9}{4} }

Step-by-step explanation:

This is what it is as a mixed number

\sqrt{2.25}

= \sqrt{2\frac{1}{4} }

= \sqrt{\frac{9}{4} }

If you want it written in exponential form it would look like this:

(\frac{9}{4}) ^{\frac{1}{2} }

Four times the first of three consecutive even integers is six more than the product of two and the third integer. Find the inte
sesenic [268]
First integer = x

Second integer = x + 2

Third integer = x + 4

Since four times the first integer equals six more than the product of two and the third integer.

 4x = 6 + 2(x + 4)

 4x = 6 + 2x + 8

 2x = 14

 x = 7.

Hence,

First integer = x = 7

Second integer = x + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9

Third integer = x + 4 = 7 + 4 = 11.

hope this helps
