Math Problem Statement

Solve the following equations: 4(v + 1) + v = 5(v - 1) + 9 and 3(u - 2) + 5 = 2(3u - 5).

Solution

Let's solve each of the equations step-by-step.

First Equation:

4(v+1)+v=5(v1)+94(v + 1) + v = 5(v - 1) + 9

  1. Expand both sides: 4v+4+v=5v5+94v + 4 + v = 5v - 5 + 9 Simplifies to: 5v+4=5v+45v + 4 = 5v + 4

  2. Subtract 5v5v from both sides: 4=44 = 4 This is always true, which means that all real numbers are solutions for vv.

Second Equation:

3(u2)+5=2(3u5)3(u - 2) + 5 = 2(3u - 5)

  1. Expand both sides: 3u6+5=6u103u - 6 + 5 = 6u - 10 Simplifies to: 3u1=6u103u - 1 = 6u - 10

  2. Move terms involving uu to one side: 3u6u=10+13u - 6u = -10 + 1 Simplifies to: 3u=9-3u = -9

  3. Solve for uu: u=3u = 3

Final Answer:

  • For the first equation, all real numbers are solutions.
  • For the second equation, u=3u = 3.
