Hiya, I'm doing this maths test and I have ALWAYS had so much trouble with equations (Algebra in general, really), and I'm hoping someone can help me with these?:

4x - 7 = 11

x = ___

and

24 + x = 3x + 2

x = ___

Please give me a detailed answer taking me through each step of working these out. Thanks. :]

✔ 最佳答案
4x - 7 = 11
4x=7+11
4x=18
x=18/4
x=4.5

24 + x = 3x + 2
24-2=3x-x
22=2x
x=22/2
x=11

4.5 and 11

4x-7=11
4x=11+7
4x=18
x=18/4 or 9/2 answer

24+x=3x+2
x-3x=2-24
-2x=-22
x=11 answer @(^_^)@

1)
4x - 7 = 11
4x = 11 + 7
4x = 18
x = 18/4
x = 9/2 (4.5)

2)
24 + x = 3x + 2
-3x + x = -24 + 2
-2x = -22
x = -22/-2
x = 11

4x - 7 = 11

add 7 to both sides
4x - 7+7 = 11+7

4x=18

Divide both sides by 4
4x/4=18/4

x=4.5

you can check
4*4.5 - 7 =11

For the second one
24 + x = 3x + 2

subract x from both sides

24 + x-x = 3x + 2 -x
24= 2x + 2

subtract 2 from both sides
24-2= 2x + 2 -2

22 = 2x

divide both sides by 2

22/2 = 2x/2

11=x

and check
24+11 = 3*11 +2

35= 35

4x -7 = 11
+7 +7
4x = 18
x=18/4=9/2

On this one, you start by adding 7 to both sides, then you can divide by 4 to get the final answer of 9/2.


24 + x = 3x + 2
-2 - x = -x - 2
22 = 2x
x = 11

On this one, you subtract x from both sides and subtract 2 from both sides to get the x term on one side and the constant on the other side. Then you divide by two to get the final answer of 11.

4x - 7 = 11

Add 7 to both sides:

4x - 7 + 7 = 11 + 7

4x = 18

Divide EVERYTHING on both sides by 4:

(4x) / 4 = (18) / 4

x = 4.5


24 + x = 3x + 2

Subtract x from both sides:

24 + x - x = 3x + 2 - x

24 = 2x + 2

Subtract 2 from both sides:

24 - 2 = 2x + 2 - 2

22 = 2x

Divide everything on both sides by 2:

(2x) / 2 = (22) / 2

x = 11


Here's a shortcut: If you have

x - 3 = 15

Instead of adding 3 to both sides, move the (-3) over to the other side and change the sign.

x = 15 + 3 = 18

4x=11+7
4x=18
4x/4=18/4
x=4.5

24=3x-x+2
24-2=2x
22=2x
x=11
2009-01-06 10:43 pm
4x - 7 = 11
4x = 11 + 7
4x = 18
x= 18/4
x = 4.5


24 + x = 3x + 2
24 -2 + x = 3x
22 + x = 3x
22 = 3x -x
22 = 2x
22/2 = x
11 = x
2009-01-06 10:43 pm
4x=11+7
4x=18
x=18/4
x=4.5


3x-x=24-2
2x=22
x=22/2
x=11

good luck with the exam.
