- 5 + 5x = - 1 + 6x

- 5 + 5 + 5x = - 1 + 5 + 6x

5x = 4 + 6x

5x - 6x = 6x - 6x + 4

- x = 4

x = - 4

Answer:

The answer is that x = -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

You first take away the parenthesis so it would look like this: -5+5x=-1+6x

Then, you add 5 to both sides of the problem: -5+5x+5=-1+6x+5

Then, you simplify it down: 5x=6x+4

You then subtract 6x from each side: 5x-6x=6x+4-6x

Then simplify again: -x=4

Then, divide both sides by -1: -x/-1 = 4/-1

Then simplify to get x = -4.

If 2x+y=8 and x-1=y then what is y? Please be detailed I want to know more then just the answer but how to solve

IgorLugansk [536]

This is Bridge Algebra 2 stuff. Well you see that 2x+y=8 and x-1=y. To slove for y you have to slove for x first to find y. So 2x+x-1=8 ( the reason I did that is because there is a y in that equation and I placed it on that equation) now lets slove this equation for x. So 3x-1=8( I add 2x with x) 3x=9 ( I made -1 a positive one and add it to 8) x=3 ( I divided 9/3 to get 3). Now that you have slove x we will use x to slove for y. So 3-1=y, 2=y. Your answer is y=2.

let a,b,c,d be four integers (not necessarily distinct) in the set {1,2,3,4,5}. the no. of polynomials x^4+ax^3+bx^2+cx+d which

Eddi Din [679]

By either long or synthetic division, it's easy to show that

$\dfrac{x^4+ax^3+bx^2+cx+d}{x+1}=x^3+(a-1)x^2+(-a+b+1)x+(a-b+c-1)-\dfrac{a-b+c-d-1}{x+1}$

The quartic will be exactly divisible by $x+1$ when the numerator of the remainder term vanishes, or for those values of $a,b,c,d$ such that

$a-b+c-d-1=0$

I'm not sure how to count the number of solutions (software tells me it should be 80), but hopefully this is a helpful push in the right direction.

Can some one please help me with this im having trouble. ?

dlinn [17]

So 12=total
7=blue
black=total-blue=12-7=5
black=5

1. 2/3 of 12 were taken out or 24/3 were taken out or 8 marbles were taken out
there is not enough info becasue it doesn't specify which ones were taken out

2. there is not enough info

3. not chosen=total-chosen=12-8=4 so 4 were chosen
