Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x+ 8/4 -x+ 5/4
= x+2+-x +5/4
Combine Like Terms:
x+2+-x+ 5/4
(x+x)+ ( 2 +5/4)
= 13/4
Answer:
12.5
Step-by-step explanation:
It would be (a) because it is now
it
There is actually 2 ways to solve this, I will show you both.
The first is obvious, solve for x in the first one, and plug it into the 2nd one and get the answer
4x + 7 = 12
4x = 5
x = 
8(
) + 3
2 * 5 + 3
10 + 3
13
The 2nd option is to manipulate the 4x + 7 to be 8x + 3
4x + 7 = 12
start by moving the 7 over
4x = 5
multiply both sides by 2
8x = 10
and add 3 to both sides
8x + 3 = 13
