Answer:
1. [tex]x=2[/tex]
2. Simplify by combining like terms
3. [tex]x=1[/tex]
4. [tex]k=0.5[/tex]
5. [tex]y=3[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
1. [tex]2.5(6x-4)=10+4(1.5+0.5x)[/tex]
Distribute within the parenthesis
[tex]15x-10=10+6+2x[/tex]
Combine like terms
[tex]15x-10=16+2x[/tex]
Isolate the variable expression by using the addition/subtraction properties of equality
[tex]13x=26[/tex]
Isolate the variable by using the division/multiplication properties of equality
[tex]x=2[/tex]
2. Like terms are always combined as soon as possible but never before the distributive property is applied.
3. You can find the solution by comparing the tables.
4. [tex]6k+10.5=3k+12[/tex]
Apply the addition/subtraction properties of equality
[tex]3k=1.5[/tex]
Apply the division/multiplication properties of inequality
[tex]k=0.5[/tex]
5. [tex]y+3=-y+9[/tex]
Addition/subtraction properties
[tex]2y=6[/tex]
Division/Multiplication properties
[tex]y=3[/tex]
