Solve for x 55x plus -3 equals 53x plus 7?
55x + (-3) = 53x + 7can be written as55x - 3 = 53x + 7subtract 53x from both sides2x - 3 = 7add three to both sides2x = 10divided both sides by 2x = 5
How do you graph 3x plus 4y equals 5?
3x + 4y = 5To find the x-intercept, let x = 03(0) + 4y = 54y = 5y = 5/4The line passes through (0, 5/4), so y-intercept is 5/4.To find x-intercept, let y = 03x + 4(0) = 53x = 5x = 5/3The line passes through (5/3, 0), so x-intercept is 5/3.Plot (0, 5/4) and (5/3, 0). Draw a straight line through them.Or,3x + 4y = 53x - 3x + 4y = 5 - 3x4y = -3x + 54y/4 = (-3x + 5)/4y = (-3/4)x + 5/4So the slope will be -3/4 and the y-intercept is 5/4; (0, 5/4)We find the x-intercept when y = 0, so0 = (-3/4)x + 5/40 - 5/4 = (-3/4)x + 5/4 - 5/4-5/4 = (-3/4)x(-5/4)/(-3/4) = [(-3/4)x]/(-3/4)5/3 = x ; (5/3, 0)Thus, the line passes through the points (0, 5/4) and (5/3, 0).
