Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2x - 3/4 = 3/8 - 5/8x
The LCD is 8. Lets change every fraction to a denominator of 8.
4/8x - 6/8 = 3/8 - 5/8x
Now multiply both sides by 8.
4x - 6 = 3 - 5x
Add 5x to both sides. Add 6 to both sides.
9x = 9
Divide both sides by 9.
x = 1
Negative means less.
Positive means more.
as a negative # moves farther away from 0, it becomes smaller.
i.e.
-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7
-5 less than 7.
Answer:
Subtract 2 from both sides.
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember to do the opposite of PEMDAS. PEMDAS is the order of operation, and stands for:
Parenthesis
Exponents (& Roots)
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction
> Also, note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other side of the equation.
First step is to subtract 2 from both sides of the equation:
3x + 2 (-2) = 29 (-2)
3x = 29 - 2
3x = 27
The second step is to divide 3 from both sides of the equation:
(3x)/3 = (27)/3
x = 27/3
x = 9
