HELP ALGEBRA 2
The question is simply asking which pair of equations have the same value of x.
THE first problem is X=15 the second problem is x=15
And to provide the steps to each solution
and i don't know how to solve the third one
i mean the second one is x=16
but
do you know how to solve the third one?
Do you know what cross multiplication is?
yes
is that what I have to do? can you show me how? because I don't know how to cross multiply with this fraction
find the value of x from second and plug in (1) and (3) and see if it satisfies the equations.
When you cross muliply, you take something like \[\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}\] And then multiply the denominators into the numerators so that \[ab = bc\] In this case, you take \[\frac{2x + 1}{3} = \frac{x + 6}{2}\] and cross multiply so that: 2(2x + 1) = 3(x + 6) Can you solve for x from here?
\[ad = bc^{*}\]
