Solve 4x + 1 = 3 – 2x
romanna [79]

Answer:

x = 1/3

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

4x + 1 = 3 - 2x

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Add 2x on both sides:                    6x + 1 = 3
  2. Subtract 1 on both sides:                6x = 2
  3. Divide 6 on both sides:                   x = 1/3

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute:                    4(1/3) + 1 = 3 - 2(1/3)
  2. Multiply:                        4/3 + 1 = 3 - 2/3
  3. Add/Subtract:               7/3 = 7/3

Here we see that 7/3 does indeed equal 7/3.

∴ x = 1/3 is a solution of the equation.

What is the equation of the line that passes through (-3, -1) and has a slope of 3/5 ? Put your answer in slope-intercept form.
Verizon [17]

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

m = the slope

b = y-intercept.

In this problem,

m = 3/5

b = ?

So far y = 3/5x + b

Let's plug the point (-3, -1) into our slope equation.

-1 = 3/5(-3) + b

Simplify the right side.

-1 = -9/5 + b

Add 9/5 to both sides.

4/5 = b

The equation is: y = 3/5x + 4/5

Answer choice A is correct.
