60-2x = 70-4x 60-2x+2x = 70-4x+2x 60 = 70 +2x 60-70 = 70 + 2x - 70 -10 = 2x x = -10/2 = -5
4x-y=32y=-2x+70 Try rearraging it. If they're all equal, then the order does not matter.2x+70=4x-y=32y-4x,-4x,+y,+y-2x+70=33y-x+35=33y
x - 2x + 10 + 4x = 70 Combine like terms: 3x + 10 = 70 Subtract 10 from both sides: 3x = 60 Divided both sides by 3: x = 20
2x = 4x - 70; it is easiest to first get rid of a 2 factor, so x = 2x - 35. subtract 2x from both sides, getting -x = -35. multiply both sides by -1, getting x = 35. Then, to check, plug the numbers back in. 2(35) = 4(35) - 70; 70 = 70.
42 is 60% of 70
