Problem 10 :
If 4 - 7x is 5 less than 23, what is the value of 3x?
1. Answer :
a - (-10) = -12
a + 10 = -12
Subtract 10 from both sides.
a = -22
2. Answer :
-24 = 8x
Divide both sides by 8.
-3 = x
3. Answer :
-10 + x = 12
Add 10 to both sides.
x = 22
Substitute x = 22 in 2 - (5 - x).
= 2 - (5 - 22)
= 2 - (-17)
= 2 + 17
= 19
4. Answer :
33 - y = y + 27 - 5y
Simplify.
33 - y = 27 - 4y
Add 4y to both sides.
33 + 3y = 27
5. Answer :
x/2 + 3 = 3/4 - x
In the equation above, we find two fractions with two different denominators 2 and 4.
The least common multiple of (2, 4) = 4.
Multiply both sides of the above equation by 4 to get rid of the fractions.
4(x/2 + 3) = 4(3/4 - x)
4x/2 + 12 = 12/4 - 4x
2x + 12 = 3 - 4x
Add 4x to both sides.
6x + 12 = 3
Subtract 12 from both sides.
6x = -9
Divide both sides by 6.
x = -9/6
x = -3/2
6. Answer :
y - (3 - 2y) + (4 - 5y) = -7
Simplify the right side of the equation.
y - 3 + 2y + 4 - 5y = -7
1 - 2y = -7
Subtract 1 from both sides.
-2y = -6
Divide both sides by -2.
y = 3
7. Answer :
(4/5)(y - 5) - (1/5)(y - 10) = 22
Using Distributive property,
4y/5 - 4 - y/5 + 2 = 22
(4y - y)/5 - 2 = 22
3y/5 - 2 = 22
Add 2 to both sides.
3y/5 = 24
Multiply both sides by 5.
3y = 120
Divide both sides by 3.
y = 40
8. Answer :
Let n be the number.
(3/4)n - 20 = 82
3n/4 - 20 = 82
Add 20 to both sides.
3n/4 = 102
Multiply both sides by 4.
3n = 408
Divide both sides by 3.
n = 136
9. Answer :
From the given information,
(1/2)n - 4 = -6
n/2 - 4 = -6
Add 4 to both sides.
n/2 = -2
Multiply both sides by 2.
n = -4
Multiply both sides by 3.
3n = -12
Add 7 to both sides.
3n + 7 = -12
10. Answer :
From the given information,
4 - 7x = 23 - 5
4 - 7x = 18
Subtract 4 from both sides.
-7x = 14
Divide both sides by -7.
x = -2
Multiply both sides by 3.
3x = -6
