What value of x makes the equation -5x - (-7 - 4x) = -2(3x - 4) tru

Mathematics

Answer: 1/10 or 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

    -(-7 - 4x) = -2(3x - 4)

      7 + 4x = -6x + 8

   * subtract 7 from both sides

            4x = -6x + 1

   * Add 6x to both sides

           10 x = 1

   * Divide both sides by 10

             x = 1/10  or 0.10

Well, you’re going to start by simplifying each side of the equation.

This step makes sure that you know to distribute the negative.

-5x + [-(-7-4x)] = -2(3x-4)

Continue to simplify. Start by distributing across the parentheses.

-5x+(7+4x)= -6x+8
-5x+4x+7= -6x+8
-x+7=-6x+8

Once you can’t simplify either side any more, you try and isolate the variable onto one side.

-x+7=-6x+8
+x. +x
________
7=-5x+8

Then isolate the constants into one side.

7=-5x+8
-8. -8
______
-1=-5x

Then make sure you have the variable being multiplied only once.

-1= -5x
—. —
-5. -5

0.2=x

And then move your variable to the left.

x=0.2

The value of x that makes the equation true is 0.2


I hope that helps!!

How many Solutions does 6 + x/5 = x/5 - 5 - 3x/10 have?
klasskru [66]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1 solution (x = -36 2/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

  6 + x/5 = x/5 - 5 - 3x/10 . . . . . . . given

  60 +2x = 2x -50 -3x . . . . . . . . . multiply by 10

  3x = -110 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  add x-60 to both sides

  x = -110/3 = -36 2/3 . . . . . .divide by the coefficient of x

There is one solution to the equation.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The coefficient of x on the left side of the equation is not equal to the coefficient of x on the right side. When that is the case, the equation will have one solution.

When the coefficients are equal, there will be no solutions if the constants are different, and there will be infinite solutions if the constants are the same.

Find the particular solution to y ' = 4sin(x) given the general solution is y = c - 4cos(x) and the initial condition y of pi ov
Lana71 [14]

The general solutions always have some additive/multiplicative constant, that you must fix in the particular solution.

In order to do so, you need to impose that the particular solution passes through a certain point. In your case, you have

y(x) = c-4\cos(x)

and you want

y\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right) = 2

Put everything together, and you have

y\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right) = c-4\cos\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right) = c = 2

Since the cosine is zero in the chosen point. So, we've fixed the value of the constant, and the particular solution is found:

y(x) = 2-4\cos(x)
