Answer:

x = -10

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

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

4.5(8 - x) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(3x + 24)

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

  1. Distribute:                                   36 - 4.5x + 36 = 102 - 7.5x - 60
  2. Combine like terms:                   -4.5x + 72 = -7.5x + 42
  3. Add 7.5x on both sides:             3x + 72 = 42
  4. Subtract 72 on both sides:        3x = -30
  5. Divide 3 on both sides:              x = -10

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                    4.5(8 - -10) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(3(-10) + 24)
  2. Simplify:                               4.5(8 + 10) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(3(-10) + 24)
  3. Multiply:                               4.5(8 + 10) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(-30 + 24)
  4. Add:                                     4.5(18) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(-6)
  5. Multiply:                               81 + 36 = 102 + 15
  6. Add:                                     117 = 117

Here we see that 117 does indeed equal to 117.

∴ x = -10 is a solution of the equation.

Answer:

A 2

Step-by-step explanation:

When we divide x by 9 there is some whole number we will call y plus a remainder of 4

x/9 = y  remainder 4

Writing this in fraction form

x/9 = y + 4/9

Multiplying each side by 9

9*x/9 = 9* y + 4/9 *9

x = 9y +4

Multiply each side by 2

2x = 2*(9y+4)

2x = 18y +8

Add 3 to each side

2x+3 = 18y +8+3

2x+3 = 18y +11

Divide each side by 9

(2x+3)/9 = 18y/9 +11/9

              = 2y + 9/9 +2/9

               =(2y+1 + 2/9)

  We know y is a whole number and 1 is a whole number so we can ignore 2y +1 when looking for a remainder)

2/9 is a fraction

Taking this back from fraction form to remainder from

                 (2y+1) remainder 2
