Answer: 1,341 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 200
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply by 4:
x + 120 + 2x = 720
3x = 600 . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 120
x = 200 . . . . . . . divide by 3
_____
<em>Check</em>
(200/4 +30) +(200/2) = 180
(50 +30) + 100 = 180
80 + 100 = 180 . . . . . true
_____ _____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
If you like, you can simply work with the equation given.
(3/4)x + 30 = 180 . . . . collect terms
(3/4)x = 150 . . . . . . . . . subtract 30
x = 200 . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 4/3
Answer:
5x-13= 12
Step-by-step explanation:
5x-13 = 12
+13 +13
------------------------
5x= 25
x=5
75 is one half the sum of 142 and 8
Remark
If the lines are parallel, there are no solutions to the system of equations. Start with the equation you know the most about.
x + 6y = 7 Subtract x from both sides
x - x + 6y = 7 - x Combine
6y = - x + 7 Switch and divide by 6
y = -x / 6 + 7/6
The general equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope of the line.
m = - 1/6
================
Now look at the second equation
10ay - 5x = 32 Add 5x to both sides
10ay = 5x + 32 Divide by 10a
y = (5/10a)x + 32/(10a)
===============
Now you must make
5/10a = - 1/6 Cross Multiply
5* 6 = - 10a * 1
30 = - 10a Divide by - 10
a = 30 / - 10
a = - 3
So these two equations will have no solution when a = - 3
