Answer:

x=−3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

435=−4x+285

Step 2: Flip the equation.

−4x+285=435

Step 3: Subtract 28/5 from both sides.

−4x+285−285=435−285

−4x=3

Step 4: Divide both sides by -4.

−4x−4=3−4

x=−34

Answer:

as a decimal: x=-0.75

as a fraction: x=-\frac{3}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>note: i'm going to convert the fractions to decimals because i prefer working with decimals rather than fractions :)</em>

  • <em />8\frac{3}{5}<em> </em>as a decimal is<em> </em>8.6<em />
  • <em />5\frac{3}{5}<em> </em>as a decimal is 5.6
  • the equation is now 8.6=-4x+5.6

first, subtract 5.6 from both sides of the equation.

  • 5.6 and -5.6 cancel each other out, leaving you with -4x+0 on the right side of the equation. it's not necessary to leave the 0 in the equation, so just leave it as 8.6=-4x
  • now subtract 5.6 from the left side of the equation. 8.6-5.6=3, therefore the equation is now 3=-4x

then divide both sides of the equation by -4.

  • you are left with x on the right side of the equation and -\frac{3}{4} or -0.75 on the left side of the equation, aka x=-0.75 or x=-\frac{3}{4}

and that's it! the solution as a fraction is x=-\frac{3}{4} and as a decimal is x=-0.75.

if you want to check the solution, just plug one of those values in for x in the original equation. since i converted it all to decimals, i'll check my answer using -0.75 for x in 8.6=-4x+5.6.

first, plug in -0.75 for x.

  • 8.6=-4x+5.6 ⇒ 8.6=-4(-0.75)+5.6

begin simplifying by multiplying -4 and -0.75.

  • -4(-0.75) = 3
  • 8.6=3+5.6

add 3 and 5.6.

  • 3+5.6=8.6
  • 8.6=8.6

since both sides of the equation are equal, that means your x value is correct and therefore a solution to the equation!! :)

i hope this helped! have a lovely rest of your day <3

The sum of two numbers is twice their difference. the larger number is 6 more than twice the smaller. find the numbers.
soldi70 [24.7K]
Let the numbers be x and y; x being the larger number and y being the smaller.

Given,
 
x + y = 2* (x - y)

x + y = 2x - 2y

x = 3y

Also given,

x = 6 + 2y

3y = 6 + 2y

--- y = 6

Thus, x = 3y = 3*6 = 18.

Therefore, the numbers are 18 and 6.
