X = unknown number
10x - 16 = 2x
Subtract 10x from both sides to isolate the variable on the right side of the equation.
-16 = -8x
Divide both sides by -8 to get x alone.
2 = x
Meter is 0.5 and the fraction is I think 1/2
Hello!
First of all, 6 and 10 are not prime numbers as they both have at least two pairs of factors (one factor pair plus one and itself).
Anything multiplied by two is even. Therefore, a) 2 counterexamples the statement. Just to show why 7 doesn't work, seven multiplied by 3 is 21, which is odd, and 7 times 7 is 49, and 7 times 5 is 35 (all prime multipliers). The only one that works is two.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use substitution, y=3x+18 so -12x+4(3x+18)=-24. From here you can try to solve for x
-12x+12x+72=-24
The xs cancel, which leaves you with 72=-24
Since 72 cannot equal -24 there is no answer to this system of equations
1 - 2/3 = 1/3
1+ (-1/3) = 2/3
