In the box, there arekilograms of baseballs andkilograms of footballs. In total, there arekilograms of balls. The total weight of the box is 48 kilograms, soSince there arekilograms of footballs, the total weight of the footballs in the box is equal to:
Example Question #11 :Equations
Solve the following equation.
To begin solving, we use the distributive property to simplify the left side. We get:. Then, adding 25 to both sides, we get:. Dividing by 5, we get that.
Example Question #12 :Equations
Solve the equation for.
No solution
Since we have variables on both sides, we first subtractfrom both sides.
This leaves us with.
Subtracting 2 from both sides, we get.
Example Question #13 :Equations
Solve for
First, use the distributive property to multiply out the left side:
Then, addon both sides:
Subtract 2 from both sides:
Divide both sides by 10 to get, or.
Example Question #14 :Equations
Solve the following equation for.
The first step in solving this equation is to distribute the 2 through the parentheses. This gives us:
Next, we subtract 6 from both sides, in order to get the variable alone on one side of the equation:
Finally, we divide both sides by 2 to solve for:
例子问题# 15:Equations
Solve the following equation for:
The first step in solving this equation is to combine the like terms. That is, move all of the terms with anin it to one side of the equation, and all the terms without anto the other side. Let's begin with moving theterms to the left side of the equation. We do this by subtractingfrom each side:
Next, we combine the terms without anon the right side. We do this by subtracting 3 from both sides:
Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for:
