1. 2x+8=3x+10
Step 1: Subtract 3x from both sides.
2x+8(-3x)= 3x+10 <span>(-3x)
</span>-x+8=10
Step 2: Subtract 8 from both sides.
-x+8 (-8) = 10 <span>(-8)
</span>-x=2
Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.
-x/(-1)=2/(-1)
x=-2
Answer= x=-2
2. -3x+9=2x-1
Step 1: Subtract 2x from each side.
-3x (-2x) +9= 2x-1 <span>(-2x)
</span>-5x+9=-1
Step 2: Subtract 9 from both sides.
-5x+9 (-9)=-1 (-9)
-5x=-10
Step 3: Divide -5 from both sides.
-5x/-5= -10/-5
x=2
The answer is 2.
3. 4x-7=5x-6
Step 1: Subtract 5x from both sides.
4x-7 (-5x)= 5x-6 (-5x)
-x-7=-6
Step 2: Add 7 to both sides.
-x-7 (+7)= -6 (+7)
-x=1
Step 3: Divide each side by -1.
-x/-1=1/-1
x=-1
The answer is -1.
15y is less than 36+9
y is less than 45/15
y is less than 3
36/15 = 8/a
multiply a .. on both sides
a×36/15= 8
multiply 36/15 reciprical on both sides
a= 8 × 15/36
a= 120/36
a= 3.33

Answer: x-2y = -8</h3>
===========================================
Explanation:
Multiply both sides by 2 to clear out the fraction
y = (1/2)x+4
2y = 2[ (1/2)x + 4 ]
2y = 2*(1/2)x + 2*4
2y = x + 8
Then move the x term over to the left side
2y = x+8
2y-x = 8
-x+2y = 8
Optionally we can multiply both sides by -1
-x+2y = 8
-1*(-x+2y) = -1*8
x-2y = -8
This is in standard form Ax+By = C with A = 1, B = -2, C = -8
The reason why I multiplied both sides by -1 was to make A > 0 which is what some textbooks use as convention. Of course -x+2y = 8 is equally valid too.
