2x + 3 = x + 1 Subtract x from both sides: x + 3 = 1 Subtract 3 from both sides: x = -2
4x + 2 = 2x + 5 Subtract through by 2x 2x + 2 = 5 Subtract through by 2 2x = 3 Divide through by 2 x = 1.5 ■
4x-39 = 2x+3, 4x-2x = 42 x=21
You first must use SADMEP or PEMDAS backwards. (parentheses, exponent, multiply and divide, add and subtract) With this information you must ether add or subtract first 2x + 3 = 9 (Now, subtract 3 from each side of the equation) 2x + 3 - 3 = 9 - 3 (and the result is...)2x = 6 (whatever you do to one side of the equation you must do to the other.) 2x = 6 (Divide both sides by 2)2x/2 = 6/2 (and you get...) x = 3
The multiplicative inverse of 3+2x is 1/(3+2x).
2x + 3 = x + 1 Subtract x from both sides: x + 3 = 1 Subtract 3 from both sides: x = -2
4x + 2 = 2x + 5 Subtract through by 2x 2x + 2 = 5 Subtract through by 2 2x = 3 Divide through by 2 x = 1.5 ■
3x + 4 = 2x - 3 Subtract 2x from both sides: x + 4 = - 3 Subtract 4 from both sides: x = -7
x + 3 + 2x = x + 3 subtract x + 3 to both sides 2x = 0 divide by 2 to both sides x = 0
3x+8 = 2x+5 Subtract 2x from both sides: x+8 = 5 Subtract 8 from both sides: x = -3
2x plus y = -3 (subtract 2x from both sides) y = -2x - 3 slope = -2 y-intercept = -3
2x + 3 = 9x Subtract 2x from each side: 3 = 7x Divide each side by 7: x = 3/7.
7x + 13 = 2x + 3 First, subtract 3 from both sides.7x + 13 - 3 = 2x + 3 - 3Simplify both sides.7x + 10 = 2xNow, subtract 2x from both sides.7x - 2x + 10 = 2x - 2xSimplify again.5x + 10 = 0Finally, subtract 10 from both sides, simplify, and divide both sides by 5.5x + 10 - 10 = 0 - 105x = -10x = -2So the answer is x = -2.
2x+3=7 Subtract three from both sides 2x=4 Divide both sides by 2 x=2
3 + 2x = 11 subtract 3 from both sides: 3 + 2x (-3) = 11 (-3) => 2x = 8 then divide both sides by 2 (2x)/2 = 8/2 => x = 4
2x + 3 = 9x Subtract 2x from both sides: 3 = 7x Divide both sides by 7: 3/7 = x
If it is 3x2 + 4 = 2x + 4, then you can subtract 4 from both sides, and get 3x2 = 2x, and then x = 2/3
