Solution

Let me analyze the image and work through the provided equations. I’ll focus on solving the problems labeled 9, 10, and 11.


Problem 9: 7(1+4x)12x=57(-1 + 4x) - 12x = 5

Steps:

  1. Expand 7(1+4x)7(-1 + 4x):
    7+28x-7 + 28x.
  2. The equation becomes:
    7+28x12x=5-7 + 28x - 12x = 5.
  3. Combine like terms:
    7+16x=5-7 + 16x = 5.
  4. Add 7 to both sides:
    16x=1216x = 12.
  5. Divide by 16:
    x=1216=34x = \frac{12}{16} = \frac{3}{4}.

Solution: x=34x = \frac{3}{4}.


Problem 10: 2.2n+0.8n+5=4n2.2n + 0.8n + 5 = 4n

Steps:

  1. Combine 2.2n+0.8n2.2n + 0.8n:
    3n+5=4n3n + 5 = 4n.
  2. Subtract 3n3n from both sides:
    5=n5 = n.

Solution: n=5n = 5.


Problem 11: 13(2x57)+13(6x)=4\frac{1}{3}(2x - 57) + \frac{1}{3}(6 - x) = -4

Steps:

  1. Expand each term:
    13(2x57)=2x319\frac{1}{3}(2x - 57) = \frac{2x}{3} - 19,
    13(6x)=2x3\frac{1}{3}(6 - x) = 2 - \frac{x}{3}.
  2. Combine these terms:
    2x319+2x3=4\frac{2x}{3} - 19 + 2 - \frac{x}{3} = -4.
  3. Simplify:
    x317=4\frac{x}{3} - 17 = -4.
  4. Add 17 to both sides:
    x3=13\frac{x}{3} = 13.
  5. Multiply through by 3:
    x=39x = 39.

Solution: x=39x = 39.


Summary of Solutions:

  • Problem 9: x=34x = \frac{3}{4}
  • Problem 10: n=5n = 5
  • Problem 11: x=39x = 39
