3x + 2x = 40 5x = 40 x = 8
Yes it is and well done.
To solve for x, set up the equation: 2x +2x = 40 (then simplify) 4x = 40 (then divide both sides of the equation by 4) x = 10 (this is the answer)
10 - 3x = x - 2x + 40 10 - 3x = - x + 40 10 - 40 = 3x - x -30 = 2x -15 = x
since X = 40% , 2X = 80% therefore 10% of 2X = 8% 8% of 125 = 10
- 2x - 14 = 26 Switch all signs: 2x + 14 = - 26 Subtract 14 from both sides: 2x = -26 - 14 = - 40 Divide both sides by 2: x = - 40/2 = - 20
40
2x+9 = 49-3x 2x+3x = 49-9 5x = 40 x = 8
Add the two equations you get 5y = 60 so y = 12 and x = 2
2x - 10 =30 2x -10 = 30 +10 +10 2x = 40 /2 /2 x = 20
2x+17=6x-23 23+17=6x-2x 40=4x x=40 / 4 therefore x=10
10x 2x divide 2x equals?
