Math Problem Statement

Solve the three algebraic equations: 13) 5x - 2(0.1x - 1) = 7.2 - 4.4(-x - 6) 14) 7x + 2(-9x + 3) = x - (-4x + 6) 15) -3(1/4x - 5/3) - x = -(4x - 1/2) + 4x

Solution

Here are the three algebraic equations from the image. I will solve each equation step by step:


13) 5x2(0.1x1)=7.24.4(x6)5x - 2(0.1x - 1) = 7.2 - 4.4(-x - 6)

Step 1: Expand both sides

  • 5x2(0.1x1)=7.24.4(x6)5x - 2(0.1x - 1) = 7.2 - 4.4(-x - 6)
  • Distribute:
    5x0.2x+2=7.2+4.4x+26.45x - 0.2x + 2 = 7.2 + 4.4x + 26.4

Step 2: Simplify both sides

  • Left-hand side: 5x0.2x+2=4.8x+25x - 0.2x + 2 = 4.8x + 2
  • Right-hand side: 7.2+26.4+4.4x=33.6+4.4x7.2 + 26.4 + 4.4x = 33.6 + 4.4x

So the equation simplifies to:
4.8x+2=33.6+4.4x4.8x + 2 = 33.6 + 4.4x

Step 3: Combine like terms

  • Subtract 4.4x4.4x from both sides:
    4.8x4.4x+2=33.64.8x - 4.4x + 2 = 33.6 0.4x+2=33.60.4x + 2 = 33.6

  • Subtract 2 from both sides:
    0.4x=31.60.4x = 31.6

Step 4: Solve for xx

  • Divide by 0.40.4:
    x=31.60.4=79x = \frac{31.6}{0.4} = 79

Solution for (13): x=79x = 79


14) 7x+2(9x+3)=x(4x+6)7x + 2(-9x + 3) = x - (-4x + 6)

Step 1: Expand both sides

  • 7x+2(9x+3)=x(4x+6)7x + 2(-9x + 3) = x - (-4x + 6)
  • Distribute:
    7x18x+6=x+4x67x - 18x + 6 = x + 4x - 6

Step 2: Simplify both sides

  • Left-hand side: 7x18x+6=11x+67x - 18x + 6 = -11x + 6
  • Right-hand side: x+4x6=5x6x + 4x - 6 = 5x - 6

So the equation becomes:
11x+6=5x6-11x + 6 = 5x - 6

Step 3: Combine like terms

  • Add 11x11x to both sides:
    6=16x66 = 16x - 6

  • Add 6 to both sides:
    12=16x12 = 16x

Step 4: Solve for xx

  • Divide by 16:
    x=1216=34x = \frac{12}{16} = \frac{3}{4}

Solution for (14): x=34x = \frac{3}{4}


15) 3(14x53)x=(4x12)+4x-3\left(\frac{1}{4}x - \frac{5}{3}\right) - x = -\left(4x - \frac{1}{2}\right) + 4x

Step 1: Expand both sides

  • Left-hand side:
    3(14x53)=34x+5-3\left(\frac{1}{4}x - \frac{5}{3}\right) = -\frac{3}{4}x + 5
    So:
    34x+5x=34x44x+5=74x+5-\frac{3}{4}x + 5 - x = -\frac{3}{4}x - \frac{4}{4}x + 5 = -\frac{7}{4}x + 5

  • Right-hand side:
