Tucker was asked to solve the equation 5x + 3 = 6x + 1. He did not know if his first step should be to add 5 negative x-tiles, or 1 negative unit tile, to both sides. What advice would you give Tucker to help him decide on his first step? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:  First Subtract 5x from both sides. Then subtract 1 from both sides.

Step-by-step explanation: To solve an equation, get all the variables (x, in this example) on one side and all the constants (numbers alone) on the other side of the equation.

The thing to remember about solving an equation is to keep it balanced. Do the same thing on both sides.

When possible, subtract smaller numbers from higher numbers.

5x + 3 = 6x + 1

5x -5x + 3= 6x - 5x + 1  

5x-5x =0 on the left side so they "cancel" On the right, 6x-5x = x

3 = x + 1

3 -1 = x +1 -1    

On the right 1-1 = 0  So the 1's "cancel"   On the left 3-1 = 2

2 = x   Rewrite as x = 2 to tell the solution

the equation for the triangle can be this

2(2x+3)+10x-5 = 180

Answer:

x= 16

x=1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

3x + -0.5 = 0

Reorder the terms:

-0.5 + 3x = 0

Solving

-0.5 + 3x = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '0.5' to each side of the equation.

-0.5 + 0.5 + 3x = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0

0.0 + 3x = 0 + 0.5

3x = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.5 = 0.5

3x = 0.5

Divide each side by '3'.

x = 0.1666666667

Simplifying

x = 0.1666666667

Simplifying

2x + 3 = 0

Reorder the terms:

3 + 2x = 0

Solving

3 + 2x = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.

3 + -3 + 2x = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0

0 + 2x = 0 + -3

2x = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 0 + -3 = -3

2x = -3

Divide each side by '2'.

x = -1.5

Simplifying

x = -1.5

Question 2 options:

x + 2


2x + 4


2x + 2


3x + 2

Answers

Answer:

2x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

First you want to distribute

1/2(2x+4)

ignore the ending +x for now

Distribute 1/2 to 2x

since 2*1/2 is 1 then we get 1x, or x

next distibute 1/2 to 4

you get +2 since 1/2*4=2

so what you end up with is x+2

However, you still have the +x from the beginning

x+2+x

Imagine that each x has a one in front

1x+2+1x

now re arrange so the common factors are near each other

1x+1x+2

now add the common factors

1x+1x=2x

and finally you get 2x+2

Answer:

[tex]{\huge{\pink{\underline{\underline{Solution:}}}}}[/tex]

In triangle,ADB

p(perpendicular)=BD=12 cm

h(hypotenuse)=AB=15cm

b(base)=AD=??

Let the AD be x

Using Pythagorean theorem,

[tex]{p}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {h}^{2} \\

=>{12}^{2} + {x}^{2} = {15}^{2} \\

=>144+{x}^{2}=225\\

=>{x}^{2}=225-144\\

=>{x}^{2}=81\\

=>x= \sqrt{81} \\

=>x= \sqrt{9×9} [/tex]

Hence,x=AD=9

So,AC=AD+DC=9+16=25.

The first part you would add the -1/16 with -11/16 to get an answer of -12/16. Fill in the first blank from the left to be 11 so it is 11/16. The other blank in that row should be a 1 like it is in the original equation.
Second row blank would become 12 because 11+1 =12. The third row of blanks would then simplify 12/16 to be 3/4 because both 12 and 16 can be divided by 4 to make 3 and 4 respectively.
-3/4 + -1/4 equals -1 because -4/4 simplifies to -1.
