a) 2 (5x-3) = 24
= 10x -6 = 24
= 10x = 24+6
= 10x = 30
= x= 30/10
b) 5 (2x+1) = 50
= 10x+5=50
= 10x = 50-5
= 10x = 45
= x = 45/10
c) (3x+4)/2=9.5
= (3x+4)/2=95/10
( On cross multiplication )
= 10(3x+4) = 2×95
= 30x+40=190
= 30x=190-40
= 30x=150
= x=150/30
(on simplification)
d) (7+2x)/3=5
(On cross multiplication)
= 1(7+2x)=5(3)
= 7+2x=15
= 2x=15-7
= 2x=8
= x=8/2
(on dividing)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Your start amount is $80
And you’ll be adding 5 every week
Y=80+5x
Y is your total
x is the amount of weeks
Answer:
Then the solution is (4, 6).
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use the substitution method:
First multiply the second equation by 4, obtaining 4y = -2x + 32.
Now substitute (-2x + 32) for 4y in the first equation:
3x + (-2x + 32) = 36, or
3x - 2x + 32 = 36. or
x = 4.
If x = 4, then the second equation yields y = (-1/2)(4) + 8, or
y = -2 + 8, or y = 6
Then the solution is (4, 6).
Check, using the first equation:
Does 3(4) + 4(6) = 36? Does 12 + 24 = 36? YES
