Solve the following equation for X: 1/2(5x+12)=2x-3 show your work

Debora [2.8K]

1/2(5x + 12) = 2x - 3
5/2 x + 6 = 2x - 3
5/2 x - 2x = -3 - 6 = -9
5x = 2 x -9 = -18
x = -18/5

Does an equation always have a solution? Could you come up w/ an equation that does not have a solution? If yes, explain why thi

Damm [24]

An equation does not always have a solution. Sometimes, an equation can have a variable that does not equal the remaining value on the other side. For example, root negative x could never equal a number squared.
√-x ≠ 14²
This equation cannot have a solution because you can't square any number to get a negative solution. Therefore, x= no solution.

Youssef lives 15 blocks away from his work

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that Youssef can either way from his home to his workplace or ride his bicycle

Let "x" be number of blocks away from work Youssef works

<u><em>Case 1: walking</em></u>

He walks at a pace of 1 block per min

Therefore,

1 block = 1 minute

Thus to cross "x" blocks he takes "x" minutes

<em><u>Case 2: Bicycle</u></em>

He can travel 1 block in 20 sec on his bicycle

We know that,

To convert seconds to minute, divide the time value by 60

$\rightarrow 20 seconds = \frac{20}{60} minutes = \frac{1}{3} minutes$

Thus he takes 1/3 minutes for 1 block

So to cross "x" blocks he will take $\frac{x}{3}$ minutes

Given that it takes youssef 10 min longer to walk to work than to ride his bike

This means difference between time taken to cross "x" blocks by walking and ride by bicycle is 10 minutes

$\rightarrow x - \frac{x}{3} = 10\\\\\rightarrow \frac{3x - x}{3} = 10\\\\\rightarrow \frac{2x}{3} = 10\\\\\rightarrow x = \frac{30}{2}\\\\\rightarrow x = 15$

Thus he lives 15 blocks away from his work
