Hey there!

4x - 3/2 = 5/3

ADD 3/2 to BOTH SIDES

4x - 3/2 + 3/2 = 5/3 + 3/2

CANCEL out: -3/2 + 3/2 because it gives you 1

KEEP: 5/3 + 3/2 because it helps solve for the x-value.

NEW EQUATION: 4x = 5/3 + 3/2

SIMPLIFY IT!

4x = 19/6

DIVIDE 4 to BOTH SIDES

4x ÷ 4 = 19/6 ÷ 4

CANCEL out: 4 ÷ 4 because it gives you 1

KEEP: 19/6 ÷ 4 because it helps solve for the x-value

NEW EQUATION: x = 19/6 ÷ 4

SIMPLIFY IT!

x = 19/24

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Answer:

x=19/12

Step-by-step explanation:

(4x-3)/2 = 5/3

4x-3 = 10/3

3 = 9/3

4x = 10/3 + 9/3 = 19/3

x = 19/12

If 8y - 8=24 find the value of 2y

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

2y =8

Step-by-step explanation:

$8y - 8 = 24$

First let's find the value of y

Collect like terms and simplify ;

$8y = 24 + 8 \\ 8y = 32$

Divide both sides of the equation by 8

$\frac{8y}{8} = \frac{32}{8}$

Simplify

$y = 4$

Substitute 4 for y into 2y

$2y \\ = 2(4) \\ = 4 \times 2 = 8$

The length of a rectangle is 5 inches more than its vedth. The area of the rectangle is equal to

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The width = x = 14

The length = x+5 = 14+5 = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l = length, w = width, A = area = l×w , and P = perimeter = 2(l+w)

Let 'x' be the width

As the length 'l' of a rectangle is 5 inches more than its width.

so the length will be = x+5

As the Area of the rectangle is equal to 2 inches more than 4 times the perimeter.

A = 4P + 2

so the equation becomes

l × w = 4×2(l+w)+2

substituting w=x, l = x+5,

(x+5)x = 8(x+5+x)+2

x²+5x = 8(5+2x)+2

x²+5x = 40+16x+2

x²+5x = 16x+42

x²+5x-16x-42 =0

x²-11x-42=0

$x^2-11x=42$

$\mathrm{Add\:}a^2=\left(-\frac{11}{2}\right)^2\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}$

$x^2-11x+\left(-\frac{11}{2}\right)^2=42+\left(-\frac{11}{2}\right)^2$

$x^2-11x+\left(-\frac{11}{2}\right)^2=\frac{289}{4}$

$\left(x-\frac{11}{2}\right)^2=\frac{289}{4}$

$\mathrm{For\:}f^2\left(x\right)=a\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}f\left(x\right)=\sqrt{a},\:-\sqrt{a}$

solving

$x-\frac{11}{2}=\sqrt{\frac{289}{4}}$

$x-\frac{11}{2}=\frac{\sqrt{289}}{\sqrt{4}}$

$x-\frac{11}{2}=\frac{\sqrt{289}}{2}$

$x-\frac{11}{2}=\frac{17}{2}$

$x-\frac{11}{2}+\frac{11}{2}=\frac{17}{2}+\frac{11}{2}$

$x=14$

similarly solving

$x-\frac{11}{2}=-\sqrt{\frac{289}{4}}$

$x-\frac{11}{2}=-\frac{17}{2}$

$x-\frac{11}{2}+\frac{11}{2}=-\frac{17}{2}+\frac{11}{2}$

$x=-3$

x = 14, or x = -3

As the width 'x' can not be negative.

so x = 14

Thus,

The width = x = 14

The length = x+5 = 14+5 = 19
