1 Answer

Answer :

Work it through, doing the same thing to both sides:0.25(3x - 4) - 0.5x = 2.75[Multiply both sides by 4]→ 4 × (0.25(3x - 4) - 0.5x) = 4 × (2.75)→ 4 × 0.25(3x - 4) - 4 × 0.5x = 4 × 2.75→ 3x - 4 - 2x = 11[simplify the left by collecting the x's together; the right isas simple as it can be]→ 3x - 2x - 4 = 11→ (3 - 2)x - 4 = 11→ x - 4 = 11[Add 4 to both sides]→ (x - 4) + 4 = (11) + 4→ x - 4 + 4 = 11 + 4→ x = 15→ Solution is B. 15

Last Answer : From x + y = 5, If x = 0 0 + y = 5 y = 5 Therefore (0,5) If x = 1 1 + y = 5 y =5 - 1 y = 4 Therefore (1,4) Draw a graph for this And From 3x - 2y = 0 If x = 0 3 (0) - 2y = 0 0 - ... 2y = 0 -2y = -6 y = -6/-2 y = 3 Therefore (2,3) Draw a graph for these points And the point of intersection is (2,3)
