Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define
Identify
8x - (2x - 13) = 42
Step 2: Solve for x
- [Distributive Property] Distribute negative: 8x - 2x + 13 = 42
- [Subtraction] Combine like terms: 6x + 13 = 42
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 13 on both sides: 6x = 29
- [Division Property of Equality] Divide 6 on both sides: x = 29/6
Step 3: Check
Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.
- Substitute in x: 8(29/6) - [2(29/6) - 13] = 42
- Multiply: 116/3 - [29/3 - 13] = 42
- [Brackets] Subtract: 116/3 - -10/3 = 42
- Subtract: 42 = 42
Here we see 42 does indeed equal 42.
∴ x = 29/6 is the solution.
Answer:
x = 29/6
Step-by-step explanation:
solve for x.
8x - ( 2x - 13 ) = 42
distribute minus sign
8x - 2x + 13 = 42
combine like terms
6x + 13 = 42
subtract 13 from both sides
6x + 13 - 13 = 42 - 13
6x = 29
Divide each side by 6
6x / 6 = 29 / 6
x = 29 / 6
Check the equation :
8x - ( 2x - 13 ) = 42
substitute the value of x in equation
8 ( 29/6) - ( 2(29/6) - 13) = 42
reduce the number with the greatest common factor 2
4 × 29 /3 - ( (29/3) - 13) = 42
calculate the product
116/3 - ( 29/3 - 13 )= 42
calculate the difference
116/3 -( -10/3 )= 42
change the sign
116/3 + 10/3 = 42
add the fractions to get 42.
42 = 42
Hence, verified.
