Math Problem Statement

Solve each equation in the image.

Solution

Let's go over the equations shown in your homework. I’ll provide detailed steps for solving each one. These problems involve solving linear equations with variables on both sides.

1) x+7=5x+76x-x + 7 = 5x + 7 - 6x

  • Combine like terms on the right side: 5x6x=x5x - 6x = -x
  • The equation becomes x+7=x+7-x + 7 = -x + 7
  • Subtract x-x from both sides: 7=77 = 7
  • This equation is an identity, meaning it's true for all values of xx.

2) 8+x6+3=x+58 + x - 6 + 3 = x + 5

  • Simplify the left side: 86+3=58 - 6 + 3 = 5, so the equation becomes 5+x=x+55 + x = x + 5
  • Subtract xx from both sides: 5=55 = 5
  • This is also an identity, so it's true for all xx.

3) 9x=x5-9 - x = -x - 5

  • Add xx to both sides: 9=5-9 = -5
  • This is a contradiction (since 9-9 is not equal to 5-5), meaning there is no solution.

4) 1+3v=116+4v71 + 3v = 11 - 6 + 4v - 7

  • Simplify both sides: 1+3v=2+4v1 + 3v = -2 + 4v
  • Subtract 3v3v from both sides: 1=2+v1 = -2 + v
  • Add 2 to both sides: 3=v3 = v
  • So, v=3v = 3.

5) 65x=14x6 - 5x = 1 - 4x

  • Add 5x5x to both sides: 6=1+x6 = 1 + x
  • Subtract 1 from both sides: 5=x5 = x
  • So, x=5x = 5.

6) 3v2=4+3v3v - 2 = -4 + 3v

  • Subtract 3v3v from both sides: 2=4-2 = -4
  • This is a contradiction, so there is no solution.

7) 163+7x3x=6x116 - 3 + 7x - 3x = 6x - 1

  • Simplify both sides: 13+4x=6x113 + 4x = 6x - 1
  • Subtract 4x4x from both sides: 13=2x113 = 2x - 1
  • Add 1 to both sides: 14=2x14 = 2x
  • Divide by 2: x=7x = 7.

8) 6n+7n=124n+2n-6n + 7n = -12 - 4n + 2n

  • Combine like terms: n=122nn = -12 - 2n
  • Add 2n2n to both sides: 3n=123n = -12
  • Divide by 3: n=4n = -4.

9) r+3+4+11=r4rr + 3 + 4 + 11 = -r - 4r

  • Simplify both sides: r+18=5rr + 18 = -5r
  • Add 5r5r to both sides: 6r+18=06r + 18 = 0
  • Subtract 18 from both sides: 6r=186r = -18
  • Divide by 6: r=3r = -3.

10) 9+8n=4n+3-9 + 8n = 4n + 3

  • Subtract 4n4n from both sides: 9+4n=3-9 + 4n = 3
  • Add 9 to both sides: 4n=124n = 12
  • Divide by 4: n=3n = 3.

  3. Solve: 5x7=3x+94x5x - 7 = 3x + 9 - 4x

  5. Solve: 8z+3=4z+198z + 3 = 4z + 19

Tip: Always combine like terms on each side of the equation before moving variables or constants across the equal sign.
