Steps to solve:
5(x + 1) = 20
~Distributive property
5x + 5 = 20
~Subtract 5 to both sides
5x + 5 - 5 = 20 - 5
~Simplify
5x = 15
~Divide 5 to both sides
5x/5 = 15/5
~Simplify
x = 3
Best of Luck!
Answer:Teo's age = 7 years ,Richard's age = 19 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Let Teo's age be represented as x
Such that Richard 's age = 5 + 2x
and their combined ages equaling 26 can be expressed as
x + 5+ 2x = 26
Step 2 --- SOLVING
x + 5+ 2x = 26
3x+ 5= 26
3x= 26-5
3x= 21
x = 21/3
x = 7
Teo's age = 7 years
Richard's age = 5+2x= 5 + 14= 19 years
Yes, you are correct. The answer to your problem is indeed 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+2y=2------------1
-3x+5y=5-----------2
adding 1 and 2 we get
7y=7
y=1
and from (1),we get
3x+2×1=2
3x=0
x=0 is the required value of x.
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation
6 = x/4 + 2
subtract 2 from both sides
4 = x/ 4
since its dividing x and 4 you need to multiply 4 on both sides
16 = x
