Question

Solve for the indicated variable.

Answer 1

Answer:

1.)

3n + 1 = 7n - 5

1 + 5 = 7n - 3n

6 = 4n

3/2 = n

2.)

2[x + 3(x - 1)] = 18

2[x + 3x - 3] = 18

2(4x - 3) = 18

8x - 6 = 18

8x = 12

x = 12/8

x = 3/2

3.)

6(y + 2) - 4 = -10

6y + 12 - 4 = -10

6y = -10 - 8

6y = -18

y = -3

4.)

2x² = 50

x² = 50/2

x = √25

x = 5

5.)

5 + 2(k + 4) = 5(k - 3) + 10

5 + 2k + 8 = 5k - 15 + 10

2k - 5k = -5 - 13

-3k = -18

k = 6

6.)

6 + 2x(x - 3) = 2x²

6 + 2x² - 6x = 2x²

-6x = 2x² - 2x² - 6

x = 1

7.)

2/3x - 18 = x/6

12(2/3x - 18 = x/6)

8x - 216 = 2x

8x - 2x = 216

6x = 216

x = 36

8.)

x - 2/3 = 2x + 1/4

12(x - 2/3 = 2x + 1/4)

4x - 8 = 6x + 3

4x - 6x = 8 + 3

2x = 11

x = 11/2
