Step-by-step solution for: Solving Equations (Combine Like Terms) Worksheet for 8th - 9th ...
It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet with a set of equations to solve for the variable \( x \). The instructions at the top say: "Solve for \( x \). Use the correct method for each one."
Let’s go through each equation step by step and solve them.
---
\( 15 + 6x + 2x = 18 \)
Combine like terms:
\[
15 + 8x = 18
\]
Subtract 15 from both sides:
\[
8x = 3
\]
Divide by 8:
\[
x = \frac{3}{8}
\]
✔ Answer: \( x = \frac{3}{8} \)
---
\( 26 = 2x + 5x + 6 \)
Combine like terms on the right:
\[
26 = 7x + 6
\]
Subtract 6 from both sides:
\[
20 = 7x
\]
Divide by 7:
\[
x = \frac{20}{7}
\]
✔ Answer: \( x = \frac{20}{7} \)
---
\( 4x + 10 + 3x = 52 \)
Combine like terms:
\[
7x + 10 = 52
\]
Subtract 10:
\[
7x = 42
\]
Divide by 7:
\[
x = 6
\]
✔ Answer: \( x = 6 \)
---
\( 77 = x + 7x + 8 \)
Combine like terms:
\[
77 = 8x + 8
\]
Subtract 8:
\[
69 = 8x
\]
Divide by 8:
\[
x = \frac{69}{8} = 8.625
\]
✔ Answer: \( x = \frac{69}{8} \) or \( 8.625 \)
---
\( 7x + 9 = 3x + 15 \)
Move all \( x \)-terms to one side, constants to the other:
Subtract \( 3x \) from both sides:
\[
4x + 9 = 15
\]
Subtract 9:
\[
4x = 6
\]
Divide by 4:
\[
x = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5
\]
✔ Answer: \( x = \frac{3}{2} \)
---
\( 2x - 4 = 2x + 24 \)
Subtract \( 2x \) from both sides:
\[
-4 = 24
\]
✘ This is not true, so there is no solution.
✔ Answer: No solution (contradiction)
---
\( 126 = 4x + 7x + 3 \)
Combine like terms:
\[
126 = 11x + 3
\]
Subtract 3:
\[
123 = 11x
\]
Divide by 11:
\[
x = \frac{123}{11} \approx 11.18
\]
✔ Answer: \( x = \frac{123}{11} \)
---
\( 9 + 4x = x + 14 \)
Subtract \( x \) from both sides:
\[
9 + 3x = 14
\]
Subtract 9:
\[
3x = 5
\]
Divide by 3:
\[
x = \frac{5}{3} \approx 1.67
\]
✔ Answer: \( x = \frac{5}{3} \)
---
\( 4 + 7x = 36 \)
Subtract 4:
\[
7x = 32
\]
Divide by 7:
\[
x = \frac{32}{7} \approx 4.57
\]
✔ Answer: \( x = \frac{32}{7} \)
---
\( 62 = 3x + 2x + 2 \)
Combine like terms:
\[
62 = 5x + 2
\]
Subtract 2:
\[
60 = 5x
\]
Divide by 5:
\[
x = 12
\]
✔ Answer: \( x = 12 \)
---
\( 48 = 3x + x + 8 \)
Combine like terms:
\[
48 = 4x + 8
\]
Subtract 8:
\[
40 = 4x
\]
Divide by 4:
\[
x = 10
\]
✔ Answer: \( x = 10 \)
---
\( 88 = 3x + 5x + 8 \)
Combine like terms:
\[
88 = 8x + 8
\]
Subtract 8:
\[
80 = 8x
\]
Divide by 8:
\[
x = 10
\]
✔ Answer: \( x = 10 \)
