Answer:
47
Step-by-step explanation:
x-5=42
x=42+5
x=47
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
x+x+1+x+2 = 15+x+2
3x+3=x+17
3x=x+14
2x=14
x=7
7+8+9=24
9+15 = 24
2(4y+1) = 3y. We need to solve for y.
First let's get ride of the parenthesis by developing 2(4y+1). This means to multiply 2 by 4y and 2 by 1, and add them.
2(4y+1) = 2*4y + 2*1 = 8y + 2
So 2(4y+1)=3y
8y+2 = 3y
Then you subtract 8y from each side to have the variables on a side and the numbers on the other:
3y - 8y = 8y + 2 - 8y
-5y = 2
Then you divide each side by -5 to get the variable y alone on a side and its value on the other:
(-5y)/-5 = 2/-5
y = -2/5
You can re-check your answer (very important):
2(4y + 1) = 2(4*-2/5 + 1) = -1.2
3y = 3 * -2/5 = -1.2
So 2(4y+1)=3y= -1.2
The answer has been approved.
Hope this Helps! :)
