3X - 4 = 66
add 4 to each side
3X - 4 + 4 = 66 + 4
3X = 70
divide each sides integers by 3
(3/3)X = 70/3
X = 70/3
------------------check in original equation
3(70/3) - 4 = 66
210/3 - 4 = 66
70 - 4 = 66
66 = 66
---------------checks ( naturally, you could have canceled here, 3(70/3) and just got 70 )
Solve this equation for A A divides 2 equals 4?
Written algebraically, the equation is (2/A)=4.
The first step is to move the variable A from the denominator. To do this, multiply both sides of the equation by A:
A*(2/A)=4*A
The A in the denominator on the left is canceled out and we are left with:
2=4*A
To solve for A divide both sides of the equation by 4:
2/4=A
Two over four simplifies to one half, which equals A:
1/2=A
What is the answer to 45 multiplied by X equals 126 what is X?
the answer is 2.6 because:
45 x X = 126
so you bring the 45 to the other side of equals, then it becomes a divide.
X=126 divided by 45
soo..
X=2.8
8 is 40 percent of x Solve for x?
8 = .40(x)
8(10/4) = .40x(10/4)
80/4 = x
20 = x
x is 20, but you REALLY should start doing your homework and paying attention in class. Learning is important.
X over 2 plus 1 equals 2x over 5-2?
x/2+1 = 2x/5-2
x/2+1 = 2x/3
Multiply all terms by 6 to eliminate the fractions:
3x+6 = 4x
3x-4x = -6
-x = -6
Divide both sides by -1 remembering that a minus number divided into a minus is equal to a plus:
x = 6
What is the square root of pi when mulitiplied by x?
Since we don't know x, then the square root of pi when multiplied by x is simply ...
x pi 0.5
... or, depending on interpretation of the question ...
(x pi) 0.5
There are 2.54 centimeters in one inch.
19.0 inches (2.54 centimeters/1 inch)
= 48.3 centimeters
What are the solutions to x2 plus 20 -9x?
Not being an equation, it does not have a "solution" per se.
If you wish to factor it, you can do it like so:
x2 + 20 - 9x
= x2 - 5x - 4x + 20
= x(x - 5) - 4(x - 5)
= (x - 4)(x - 5)
If that expression is equal to zero, then x would be equal to 4 or 5.
How do you solve four to the x power minus two to the x plus one power all equaling 15?
So you have (4^(x-2))^(x+1)=15. Using a law of exponents (b^a)^c=b^(a*c) and 4=2^2, you get
4^((x-2)*(x+1))=15=2^(2(x-2)(x+1)).
Take log base two and use the rule about logs of products you get
2(x-2)(x+1)=Log_2(15)
Simplifying and substituting u for Log_2(15),
2x^2-2x-4=u, which means
2x^2-2x-(4+u)=0, using quadratic formula.
X=(1/4)(2(+or-)sqrt(4-4*2*(-4-u))) or
(1/2) plus or minus (1/4)(sqrt(36+8u))
Where sqrt(b) is the square root of b
If Y = y, then it is 9y4 or 9Y4. If Y is not the same as y, then you can't simplify it any.
Is point 2 3 on the line represented by the equation x - 2y equals -4?
To check whether or not that is the case, substitute the values for x and y in the equation and see if it works.
So: x - 2y = -4
becomes 2 - 2*3 = -4
or 2 - 6 = -4 which is true.
So the point is on the line.
What is 7x plus 13 equals 2x plus 3?
7x + 13 = 2x + 3 First, subtract 3 from both sides.
7x + 13 - 3 = 2x + 3 - 3
Simplify both sides.
7x + 10 = 2x
Now, subtract 2x from both sides.
7x - 2x + 10 = 2x - 2x
Simplify again.
5x + 10 = 0
Finally, subtract 10 from both sides, simplify, and divide both sides by 5.
5x + 10 - 10 = 0 - 10
5x = -10
x = -2
So the answer is x = -2.
