Question

15(2 - x) = 13(3 - x)

Answer 1

Multiply both sides out then put the x's on one side and the constants on the other side.

Answer 2

Multiply them by what..? like 15x13? or?

Answer 3

So whenever you see the parentheses it means that you have to mutiply the number that's outside of it by the numbers inside. I uploaded the solution.

Answer 14

:) that's the same as -9/2. Do you know how to simplify mixed numbers?

Answer 15

Ohh, it wanted me to simplify. And i'm not entirely sure I do. Help? :)

Answer 16

Sure. You say the whole number times the number at the bottom of the fraction (4*2) then add the number on top so in this case add 1. (8+1=9) Then you say the number you now have (9) divided by the number at the bottom of the fraction before (9)/(2) and don't forget the (-) sign you had before

:)

Answer 24

A) 12(x -6) = 2(x - 9)

B) 4(7 - 3x) = 7(4 - 2x)

C) 7(x - 2) + 3(x + 2) = 5(x - 6)

D) 4(2x -3) + 8(x - 4) = 2(2x + 6)

E) 4(7x - 1) = 3(2x + 1) - 4(x + 6)

F) 12(2x - 8) = 4(5 - 2x) + 3(7 - 3x)

G) 3(x - 2) + 4(2x - 6) = 6(x - 4) + 8(2x + 1)
