First change the 1/2 to eighths. multiply numerator and denominator by 4.now subtract 4 1/8
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing you need to do is develop the equation. Less in this case means subtract.
On the left side you have
9 times a number which is 9*x
5 less than 9 times a number means 9x - 5
Now you shift to the right
x = 3
x + 19 What you get is
9x - 5 = x + 19 Subtract x from both sides of the equation
9x - x - 5 = 19 Combine both x terms on the left
8x - 5 = 19 Add 5 to both sides.
8x - 5 + 5 = 19 + 5 Combine terms
8x = 24 Divide by 8
x = 24/8
x = 3
The easiest way to solve this is by elimination.
3x - y = 6
6x + y = 21
Since you have a negative and positive y with the same coefficients (1), they cancel, and you add the other terms so it would look like:
9x = 27
Then solving for x leaves you with x = 3
Then you take the x value of three and plug it into to either of the equations, so
3(3) - y = 6
9 - y = 6
subtracting 9
-y = -3
then dividing by -1
y = 3
so the solution is x = 3 y = 3 or (3,3)
Daria has 12 to 15 nickels because 3x3=9 but u want to double the amount which would be 12 to 15
Solve for x
so assuming that the fractions are
(9/4)-(1/*2x))=4/x then
get all x on one side
add 1/(2x) to both sides
9/4=(4/x)+(1/(2x))
make common denomators with x and 2x
common denomenator is 2x
4/x times 2/2=8/(2x)
9/4=8/(2x)+1/(2x)
add
9/4=9/(2x)
make common denomators with 4 and 2x
common denomator is 4x
9/4 times x/x=9x/(4x)
9/(2x) times 2/2=18/(4x)
9x/(4x)=18/(4x)
multiply both sides by 4x to clear fraction
9x=18
divide both sides by 9
x=2
