HELP. MATH HELP! HOMEWORK HELP :/?

I'll show you how to do one .. the rest will be similar.

-14x-23-15x=151

First, rewrite it to be easier to work with

-14x + (-23) + (-15x) = 151

Now, combine like items

-14x + (-15x)

-29x + (-23) = 151

Now, isolate the variable. Remember, what you do to ONE side of the equal sign do to the other

-29x + (-23) - (-23) = 151 - (-21)

-29x = 151 + 21

-29x = 172

Now, divide both sides by -29 for your answer

You're ready to do the rest on your own!

1. -14x-23-15x=151

-->rewrite

-14x + -23 + -15x = 151

-->combine like terms

-29x + -23 = 151

-->add 23 to both sides

-29x + -23 + 23 = 151 + 23

-29x = 174

-->divide both sides by -29

-29x/-29 = 174/-29

x = -6

2. 24x + 81 + 7x = 19

-->combine like terms

31x + 81 = 19

-->add -81 to both sides

31x + 81 + -81 = 19 + -81

31x = 62

-->divide both sides by 31

31x/31 = 62/31

x = 2

48x - 13 - 51x = -64

48x + -13 + -51x = -64

-3x + -13 = -64

-3x + -13 + 13 = -64 + 13

-3x = -51

-3x/-3 = -51/-3

x = 17

-14x - 23 - 15x = 151

-29x - 23 = 151

+ 23 +23

-29x = 174

x= -6

24x + 81 + 7x = 19

31x + 81 = 19

- 81 -81

31x = -62

x = -2

48x - 13 -51x = -64

-3x - 13 = -64

+13 + 13

-3x = -51

x = 17

1. -14x-23-15x=151 -29x-23=151 next, add 23 to both sides, -29x=174, then divide 174 by 29 to get the answer.

2. 24x +81 +7x=19 First, add the x together. 31x+81=19 Then subtract 81 from 19 to get a negative number. 31x=-62. Last, divide -62 by 31 to get your answer!! Good Luck! :)

lets do the steps for you

u have your unknown (x)

the first thing you wanna do is group em

therefore -14-15 becomes -29x

then put 23 on the other side by adding it to 151

this becomes 174

divide this by -29 and you get -6

to check it we do (-29 * -6) - 23 = ??

= 151

both sides are the same therefore its correct

------------------------------------------------------------------------

followin the same steps.. theres 31x = -62 (because 19 - 81)

divide both sides.. and you get x = -2

to check: 31(-2) = -62

= -62

both sides are the same

--------------------------------------------------------------------

48 - 51 = -3

-64 + 13 = -51

divide both sides by -3 and you get x=17

to check -3(17) -13 = -64

= -64

both sides are the same (y)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

hopefully that helps.. you probably didnt collect like terms correctly.. look out for that next time :P

1) x= -6

2) x= -2

3) x= 17

1. -29x=174

x=-6

2. 31x=-62

x=-.5

3. -3x=-51

x=17

1. x=-6

2.x=-2

1. -14x-23-15x=151

-29x-23=151

-29x=23+151

-29x=174

-(29x)/(-29)=(174)/(-29)

x=(174)/(-29)

x=-6

2. 24x+81+7x=19

31x+81=19

31x=-81+19

31x=-62

(31x)/(31)=-(62)/(31)

x=-(62)/(31)

x=-2
