<span>solve the equation ax – c = bx + d for x:
1) Group the x terms together on the left: ax - bx - c = d
2) Group the constant terms together: ax - bx = c + d
3) factor out x: x(a - b) = c + d
4) Divide both sides of the equation by (a - b) to obtain a formula for x:
c+d
</span> x(a - b) = c + d => x = ---------
a-b
This shows that the given equation CAN be solved for x, but there is a restriction: a must NOT equal b, because if a-b = 0, we'd have division by zero (which is not defined).
Where is Victoria's solution? Please share it if you want to discuss this problem further. Thank you.
Answer:
dogs - 13
cats - 39
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of dogs Ma Bernier have be represented with d
She has 3 times as many cats as dogs, the number of cats she has :
cats = 3d
The sum of the cats and dogs is 52
d + 3d = 52
4d = 52
divide both sides of the equation by 4
d = 13
She has 13 dogs
Cats = 3d
= 3 x 13 = 39
Yea this is a Hamilton circuit. This is because it goes through A, C, E, B, D and return back to A without overlapping and successfully reaching each point.
B because I have had this problem and I’m pretty sure it’s b
