Math Problem Statement

Solve the linear equations from the image: 1) 6 - 5x = 1 - 4x 2) 16 - 3 + 7x - 3x = 6x - 1 3) r + 3 + 4 + 11 = -r - 4r

Solution

Let's solve the problems shown in the image one by one.

Problem 5:

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

  • Move all the xx-terms to one side and the constants to the other side. 61=5x4x6 - 1 = 5x - 4x 5=x5 = x So, the solution is: x=5x = 5

Problem 7:

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

  • First, simplify both sides: 13+4x=6x113 + 4x = 6x - 1
  • Move all xx-terms to one side and the constants to the other: 13+1=6x4x13 + 1 = 6x - 4x 14=2x14 = 2x x=142=7x = \frac{14}{2} = 7 So, the solution is: x=7x = 7

Problem 9:

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

  • Simplify both sides: r+18=5rr + 18 = -5r
  • Move all rr-terms to one side: r+5r=18r + 5r = -18 6r=186r = -18 r=186=3r = \frac{-18}{6} = -3 So, the solution is: r=3r = -3
