Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, open up the parentheses to get 4x-2x+6=-4+5x-5. Now, move all numbers without variables to the right and those with variables to the left to get 4x-2x-5x=-4-5-6. Simplify both sides to have -3x=-15. Now divide both sides by -3 to get x=5

Roy weighs 150 pounds and plans to lose 1.5 pounds a week. Luis weighs 200 pounds and plans to lose 2.5

Gennadij [26K]

Roy: y=150-1.5x

Luis: y=200-2.5x

150-1.5x=200-2.5x

150=200-x

-50=-x

50=x

So in 50 weeks, Roy and Luis will weigh the same at 75 pounds each.

Somebody help with 1 & 2..Help solve for x

alexira [117]

Answer:

x = 574 and x = - $\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)

0.25x = 143.5 ( isolate x by dividing both sides by 0.25 )

x = 574

(2)

- 4x + $\frac{1}{2}$ = 3 $\frac{1}{2}$ ( subtract $\frac{1}{2}$ from both sides )

- 4x = 3 ( divide both sides by - 4 )

x = - $\frac{3}{4}$
