8x-16=4x+4
when solving equations try to get the variable on just one side and the non-variables on the other. In this problem lets first subtract 4x from both sides.
8x-16=4x+4
-4x -4x
4x-16=4
Now add 16 to both sides this will leave all the xs in one side and all of the non x on the other.
4x-16=4
+16 +16
4x=20
Now to leave the x by itself divide both sides by 4.
4x=20
/4 /4
x=5
That's your final answer.
2y = 4x + 4y = 2x + 2
many solutions
x= -.5
It can't be factored because its discriminant is less than zero
You can't solve it. But you can simplify it to get: 4x+y=2
-4x+3 = 23+6x -4x-6x = 23-3 -10x = 20 x = -2
4x+9 = 7x+3 4x-7x = 3-9 -3x = -6 x = 2
Add 4x - 2 to each side: 5x = 5 x = 1
You cannot solve one linear equation with two variables.
8+4x
5+4x-7 = 4x+3-x 4x-2 = 3x+3 4x-3x = 3+2 x = 5
