Thread: Is there a teacher in the house?

If so if u have time can u check my work i think i got most of these problems right just wanted to check ur help will help me have a better life in the future


2. Simplify and combine like terms:
(1/4)(3x - 2) - (5/4)(2x - 6)
(1/4)-(5/4)=(4/4)=1
(3x – 2)- -2x +6=
5x -8


3. Solve for x, collect variables on the left side of the equation:
7x - 3 = - 5x – 18
7x + 5x =12x -5x +5x =0
12x -3+3 =-18+3
Divide 12 both sides 12/12x=-15/12
X=-4/3 x=-1 1/3


4. Solve for x, collect variables on the left side of the equation:
4(x - 3) + 2 = 3x + 8 - 2x
4x -12 +2 = 3x +8 -2x
3x-2x=x -12 + 2=-10
4x -10=x+8
-x from both sides 3x -10=8
Add 10 both sides 3x=18
Divide 3 both sides x=6

5. Solve for x, collect variables on the left side of the equation:
(x – 4)/2 – 1/4 = (6x - 1)/20
Find LCD and simplify x -4 – 1/2 = 6x-1/10 add 1 to each side
10 times all terms 10x – 30 - 5 = 60x
Minus 10x form both sides -25 = 50x

2. .

You can only do the if you have a common factor. Here you don't.

So you expand instead.



Now collect the like terms

.


3.

Collect all the x terms on one side and the constants on the other.







.


4.









.


5.

We need to get rid of the denominators. Do this by multiplying both sides by 20 (since 2 and 4 are also factors of 20)
