solve the literal equation for x.
Square root 3x + 2y +5x=4, for x
so x =4 right
3x + 2y +5x=4
8x = 4 - 2y
x = (4 - 2y)/8
or
x = 1/2 - (1/4)y
Just noticed the square root part
Of what are you taking the square root ?
You will need to use brackets,
e.g.
√(3x + 2y) + 5x = 4
or ...
√(3x) + 2y + 5x = 4
or
can you see the problem if you don't use brackets ??
So According to this calculation I sulohd have asked my girlfriend to marry me 7.3 years *before* I met her !!(my answer was -7.6)I know I waited a long time to find the right woman, but I am sooo happy I did ! It seems the formula writer figures if a man is out of a relationship for more than 2 years he sulohd be quicker to propose, interesting
To solve the literal equation for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. In this case, we want to isolate x in the equation:
√(3x + 2y + 5x) = 4
To start, let's square both sides of the equation to eliminate the square root:
(√(3x + 2y + 5x))^2 = 4^2
Simplifying this equation, we get:
3x + 2y + 5x = 16
Now combine the like terms:
8x + 2y = 16
Next, let's isolate x by getting rid of the y term. To do that, we need to subtract 2y from both sides of the equation:
8x + 2y - 2y = 16 - 2y
Simplifying this equation, we get:
8x = 16 - 2y
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 8 to solve for x:
8x/8 = (16 - 2y)/8
Simplifying further, we get:
x = (16 - 2y)/8
Thus, the solution for x in the given equation is:
x = (16 - 2y)/8
