Question

Solve for x . x/4−2=−10 (1 point)

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

Starting with the given equation:

x/4 - 2 = -10

First, add 2 to both sides to eliminate the -2 on the left side of the equation:

x/4 - 2 + 2 = -10 + 2

x/4 = -8

Next, multiply both sides by 4 to eliminate the fraction:

4 * (x/4) = -8 * 4

This simplifies to:

x = -32

So, the solution to the equation x/4 - 2 = -10 is x = -32.

Answer 2

Solve for x . 3−5/3x=18 (1 point)

To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

Starting with the given equation:

3 - (5/3)x = 18

First, let's get rid of the fraction. Multiply every term by 3 to eliminate the denominator:

3 * (3) - (5/3)x * 3 = 18 * 3

This simplifies to:

9 - 5x = 54

Next, subtract 9 from both sides to eliminate the 9 on the left side of the equation:

9 - 5x - 9 = 54 - 9

This simplifies to:

-5x = 45

To solve for x, divide both sides by -5:

-5x / -5 = 45 / -5

This simplifies to:

x = -9

So, the solution to the equation 3 - (5/3)x = 18 is x = -9.
