If 4(k−3)=284(k - 3) = 28, what is the value of kk?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 10

Cevap

10
Applying inverse operations to isolate the variable results in k=10k = 10. This can be verified by substituting 10 back into the original equation: 4(10−3)=4(7)=284(10 - 3) = 4(7) = 28, which makes the statement true.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Divide both sides by 4.
k−3=7k - 3 = 7
Dividing by the coefficient outside the parentheses simplifies the equation and isolates the binomial.
2
Add 3 to both sides of the equation.
k=10k = 10
Using the inverse operation of subtraction isolates the variable kk.

Determine the value of yy that makes the following equation true:

6y−12=36 6y - 12 = 36

Which of the following represents the correct value of yy?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 8

Cevap

The correct value of y is 8.
The correct value is 8. To isolate the variable y, the constant 12 must first be added to both sides of the equation, which results in 6y = 48. Finally, dividing both sides by the coefficient 6 gives the solution y = 8.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Add 12 to both sides of the equation.
6y=36+12⇒6y=48 6y = 36 + 12 \Rightarrow 6y = 48
This isolates the term with the variable on one side of the equation.
2
Divide both sides by 6.
y=486⇒y=8 y = \frac{48}{6} \Rightarrow y = 8
This isolates the variable y and provides the final solution.

Cevap

21
To find the value of tt, you must apply inverse operations to isolate the variable. First, subtract 8 from both sides to get t/3=7t/3 = 7. Then, multiply both sides by 3 to eliminate the fraction, which gives the final solution t=21t = 21.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Isolate the fraction term by subtracting 8 from both sides of the equation.
t3=15−8 \frac{t}{3} = 15 - 8

Solve the linear equation 10−4p=−1810 - 4p = -18. Which of the following is the value of pp?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 7

Cevap

The correct value for p is 7.
The correct answer is 7 because applying inverse operations accurately isolates the variable. Subtracting 10 from both sides yields −4p=−28-4p = -28, and dividing both sides by −4-4 results in p=7p = 7.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation.
−4p=−18−10-4p = -18 - 10 which simplifies to −4p=−28-4p = -28
This isolates the term containing the variable pp on one side of the equation.
2
Divide both sides by -4.
p=−28−4p = \frac{-28}{-4} which simplifies to p=7p = 7
This removes the coefficient from pp, giving the final solution.

Which of the following represents the correct value of xx?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 5

Cevap

5
The correct answer is derived by first distributing the 4 to get 4x−124x - 12. Combining 4x4x and −2x-2x yields 2x−122x - 12. Moving the variables to one side (5x−2x=3x5x - 2x = 3x) and the constants to the other (−12+27=15-12 + 27 = 15) results in 15=3x15 = 3x. Dividing by 3 gives the final result of x=5x = 5.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Distribute the coefficient 4 into the parentheses.
4x−12−2x=5x−27 4x - 12 - 2x = 5x - 27
According to the distributive property, the number outside the parentheses must multiply each term inside.
2
Combine the like terms on the left side of the equation.
2x−12=5x−27 2x - 12 = 5x - 27
The terms 4x4x and −2x-2x are like terms and subtract to form 2x2x.
3
Isolate the variable terms on one side by subtracting 2x2x from both sides.
−12=3x−27 -12 = 3x - 27
Subtracting 2x2x from both sides keeps the equation balanced and groups all terms containing xx on the right side.
4
Isolate the variable xx by adding 27 to both sides.
15=3x 15 = 3x
Adding 27 cancels out the −27-27 on the right, leaving the variable term by itself.
5
Solve for xx by dividing both sides by 3.
x=5 x = 5
Dividing by the coefficient of xx provides the final value of the unknown variable.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Distribute the -3 across the terms inside the parentheses.
7−6w+12=w+57 - 6w + 12 = w + 5
The distributive property is required to expand the expression −3(2w−4)-3(2w - 4) before combining like terms. Remember that multiplying a negative by a negative results in a positive.
2
Combine the constant terms on the left side of the equation.
19−6w=w+519 - 6w = w + 5
Adding 77 and 1212 simplifies the left side.
3
Add 6w6w to both sides of the equation.
19=7w+519 = 7w + 5
This step groups all terms containing the variable ww onto the right side.

Cevap: 8

Cevap

8
Expanding the terms by distributing gives 4v - 8 + 6 = 7v - 2v - 10. Simplifying both sides yields 4v - 2 = 5v - 10. By subtracting 4v from both sides and adding 10 to both sides, the variable v is isolated to yield 8.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Distribute the constants into the parentheses on both sides of the equation.
