How do I solve linear equations?​

Mathematics

ziro4ka [17]3 years ago

Answer:

It's actually very easy. I learned them in 6th grade. There are 2 step linear equations too! I'll give an example.

Step-by-step explanation:

equations:

5x-4=7

1. draw a line through the equation sign going down.

2. you are going to change the - sign to a + because you have to do the inverse operation.

3. Then you are going to add the four under both sides (4 and 7) when you add them you are going to get 7+4= 11 and 4-4 is just going to put a zero which is going to turn into an x or whatever your variable is.

4. The 5 and the x are together that means multipilcation so your going to do the inverse operation and that will be division.

5. then you do 5 divided by 11. then you get your answer  

hope this helps

Answer:

If the equation contains any fractions use the least common denominator to clear the fractions. We will do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by the LCD.

Also, if there are variables in the denominators of the fractions identify values of the variable which will give division by zero as we will need to avoid these values in our solution.

Simplify both sides of the equation. This means clearing out any parenthesis and combining like terms.

Use the first two facts above to get all terms with the variable in them on one side of the equations (combining into a single term of course) and all constants on the other side.

If the coefficient of the variable is not a one use the third or fourth fact above (this will depend on just what the number is) to make the coefficient a one.

Note that we usually just divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient if it is an integer or multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of the coefficient if it is a fraction.

VERIFY YOUR ANSWER! This is the final step and the most often skipped step, yet it is probably the most important step in the process. With this step you can know whether or not you got the correct answer long before your instructor ever looks at it. We verify the answer by plugging the results from the previous steps into the original equation. It is very important to plug into the original equation since you may have made a mistake in the very first step that led you to an incorrect answer.

Also, if there were fractions in the problem and there were values of the variable that give division by zero (recall the first step…) it is important to make sure that one of these values didn’t end up in the solution set. It is possible, as we’ll see in an example, to have these values show up in the solution set.

The solution of the equation is x= 3 and y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

-3x-4y = -17 and

-x-3y = -9

The system of equation can be rewritten as

3x+4y = 17 ------eq 1 and

x+3y = 9 ------ eq 2

To solve for x and y

Multiplying eq 2 by 3 we get,

3x + 9y = 27

or, 3x = 27-9y

Putting this value of x into eq 1 we get,

27-9y +4y = 17

or, -5y = 17-27

or, -5y = -10

or, y = 2

Now put y=2 in eq 2 we get,

x = 9 - 3(2)

= 3

Hence the solution is x = 3 and y = 2

Katie bought 2 one gallon bottles for a party. Her guest drank 5/4 gallons of juice. What is the fraction of juice leftover? Sho
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

3/4 gallons of juice

Step-by-step explanation:

Katie bought 2 one-gallon bottles for a party.

2 one-gallon bottles = 2-gallon bottles of juice

We are told that:

Her guest drank 5/4 gallons of juice.

The fraction of juice leftover is calculated as:

2 gallons of juice - 5/4 gallons of juice

2 - 5/4

Lowest Common Denominator = 4

2/1 - 5/4

= 8 - 5/4

= 3/4 gallons of juice

Therefore, the fraction of juice leftover is 3/4 gallons of juice

Find the value of the arc x.
julsineya [31]

Answer:

216°

Step-by-step explanation:

Both chords are the same length, so the left and right arcs are both 72°.  The whole circle is 360°, so:

72° + 72° + x = 360°

x = 216°

Four times the larger of two consecutive even integers is ten less than the smaller. What is the larger of these two numbers?
anygoal [31]

Answer:

-4 is the larger integer

Step-by-step explanation:

n = smaller integer

n + 2 = larger integer

4(n+2) = n-10

4n + 8 =  n - 10

3n + 8 = -10

3n = -18

n = -6

n+2 = -4
