Math Problem Statement

Solve the system of linear equations shown in the image, including fractions and variables.

Solution

Let's solve the equations step by step from the image:

1) 3x12=183x - 12 = 18

  • Add 12 to both sides: 3x=18+123x = 18 + 12 3x=303x = 30
  • Divide by 3: x=303=10x = \frac{30}{3} = 10

2) x4=5\frac{x}{4} = -5

  • Multiply both sides by 4: x=5×4x = -5 \times 4 x=20x = -20

3) 5x=10\frac{5}{x} = 10

  • Multiply both sides by xx: 5=10x5 = 10x
  • Divide by 10: x=510=0.5x = \frac{5}{10} = 0.5

4) 2(x+6)=142(x + 6) = 14

  • Divide by 2 on both sides: x+6=142=7x + 6 = \frac{14}{2} = 7
  • Subtract 6: x=76=1x = 7 - 6 = 1

5) x4+5=20\frac{x}{4} + 5 = 20

  • Subtract 5 from both sides: x4=205\frac{x}{4} = 20 - 5 x4=15\frac{x}{4} = 15
  • Multiply by 4: x=15×4=60x = 15 \times 4 = 60

6) 4x16=404x - 16 = 40

  • Add 16 to both sides: 4x=40+164x = 40 + 16 4x=564x = 56
  • Divide by 4: x=564=14x = \frac{56}{4} = 14

7) 34x+56x=10\frac{3}{4}x + \frac{5}{6}x = 10

  • Find a common denominator for 34\frac{3}{4} and 56\frac{5}{6}. The least common denominator (LCD) is 12: 34x=912xand56x=1012x\frac{3}{4}x = \frac{9}{12}x \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{5}{6}x = \frac{10}{12}x
  • Combine the fractions: 912x+1012x=1912x\frac{9}{12}x + \frac{10}{12}x = \frac{19}{12}x 1912x=10\frac{19}{12}x = 10
  • Multiply both sides by 12: 19x=12019x = 120
  • Divide by 19: x=120196.32x = \frac{120}{19} \approx 6.32

8) 2.9x1.9x+15=02.9x - 1.9x + 15 = 0

  • Combine like terms: (2.91.9)x+15=0(2.9 - 1.9)x + 15 = 0 1x+15=01x + 15 = 0
  • Subtract 15: x=15x = -15
