How can one thirdx − 2 = one fourthx + 11 be set up as a system of equations?

Answer 1

write the system in number. For the start.

Answer 2

(1/3)x-2=(1/4)x+11 like this? @SolomonZelman

Answer 3

Okay, so now we can start solving it.

\(\Large\color{orangered}{ \frac{1}{3}x-2= \frac{1}{4}x+11 }\)

\(\Large\color{orangered}{ \frac{1}{3}x-2-11= \frac{1}{4}x }\)

\(\Large\color{orangered}{ -2-11= \frac{1}{4}x -\frac{1}{3}x }\)

\(\Large\color{orangered}{ -13= \frac{x}{4} -\frac{x}{3} }\)

\(\Large\color{orangered}{ -13= \frac{3x}{12} -\frac{4x}{12} }\)

\(\Large\color{orangered}{ -13= -\frac{x}{12} }\)

\(\Large\color{orangered}{ 156= x }\)

Answer 4

A.3y − x = −6
4y − x = 44

B.3y + x = −6
4y + x = 44

C.3y − 3x = −6
4y − 4x = 44

D.3y + 3x = −6
4y + 4x = 44
These are the answer choices....i got up to
y=(1/3)x-2
y=(1/4)x+11
butnow im not sure what to do

Answer 5

@SolomonZelman

Answer 6

(1/3)x-2=(1/4)x+11

(1/3)x-2=y
(1/4)x+11=y

and then make all coefficients into whole numbers

x-6=3y
x+44=4y

I think this is what they ask

Answer 7

oh ok...thx a lot

Answer 8

anytime.
