Six times a number x plus 2 times a number y is more than 4 times a number x. Solve for x.
6 x + 2 y > 4 x
2 x + 2 y > 0
2 x > -2 y
x > - y
Six times a number x plus 2 times a number y is 3 more than 4 times a number x. Solve for x.
Sorry i messed up on that on this is supposed to be the right question
6 x + 2 y - 3 = 4 x
2 x + 2 y = 3
x + y = 1.5
x = 1.5 - y
Thank you
You are welcome :)
Why is it 6x+2y-3 isnt it supposed to be 4x+3
-3 on the left = + 3 on the right
Oh yeah thank you again
No problem :)
To solve the equation, we will follow these steps:
1. Write down the equation:
6x + 2y > 4x
2. Simplify the equation:
Subtract 4x from both sides to isolate the x term:
6x - 4x + 2y > 0
Simplify:
2x + 2y > 0
3. Solve for x:
To solve for x, we need to isolate the x term on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 2y from both sides:
2x + 2y - 2y > 0 - 2y
Simplify:
2x > -2y
4. Divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for x:
(2x) / 2 > (-2y) / 2
Simplify:
x > -y/2
Therefore, the solution for x is x > -y/2.
