Step-by-step solution for: Linear Equations Worksheets with Answer Key
Problem: Solve the given linear equations to find the unknown variable.
We will solve each equation step by step.
---
#### Equation 1: \( 12 - x = 7 \)
1. Start with the equation:
\[
12 - x = 7
\]
2. Subtract 12 from both sides to isolate the term with \( x \):
\[
-x = 7 - 12
\]
\[
-x = -5
\]
3. Multiply both sides by \(-1\) to solve for \( x \):
\[
x = 5
\]
Solution: \( x = 5 \)
---
#### Equation 2: \( 9 + 6x = 3x + 13 \)
1. Start with the equation:
\[
9 + 6x = 3x + 13
\]
2. Subtract \( 3x \) from both sides to get all \( x \)-terms on one side:
\[
9 + 6x - 3x = 13
\]
\[
9 + 3x = 13
\]
3. Subtract 9 from both sides to isolate the term with \( x \):
\[
3x = 13 - 9
\]
\[
3x = 4
\]
4. Divide both sides by 3 to solve for \( x \):
\[
x = \frac{4}{3}
\]
Solution: \( x = \frac{4}{3} \)
---
#### Equation 3: \( 10x + 3 + 10x = 13x - 3 \)
1. Start with the equation:
\[
10x + 3 + 10x = 13x - 3
\]
2. Combine like terms on the left-hand side:
\[
20x + 3 = 13x - 3
\]
3. Subtract \( 13x \) from both sides to get all \( x \)-terms on one side:
\[
20x - 13x + 3 = -3
\]
\[
7x + 3 = -3
\]
4. Subtract 3 from both sides to isolate the term with \( x \):
\[
7x = -3 - 3
\]
\[
7x = -6
\]
5. Divide both sides by 7 to solve for \( x \):
\[
x = -\frac{6}{7}
\]
Solution: \( x = -\frac{6}{7} \)
---
#### Equation 4: \( 0.25(60) + 0.10x = 0.15(60 + x) \)
1. Start with the equation:
\[
0.25(60) + 0.10x = 0.15(60 + x)
\]
2. Simplify both sides:
\[
0.25 \cdot 60 = 15 \quad \text{and} \quad 0.15(60 + x) = 0.15 \cdot 60 + 0.15x = 9 + 0.15x
\]
So the equation becomes:
\[
15 + 0.10x = 9 + 0.15x
\]
3. Subtract \( 0.10x \) from both sides:
\[
15 = 9 + 0.05x
\]
4. Subtract 9 from both sides to isolate the term with \( x \):
\[
15 - 9 = 0.05x
\]
\[
6 = 0.05x
\]
5. Divide both sides by 0.05 to solve for \( x \):
\[
x = \frac{6}{0.05} = 120
\]
Solution: \( x = 120 \)
---
#### Equation 5: \( 3 = 4(x - 2) + 5 - 4x \)
1. Start with the equation:
\[
3 = 4(x - 2) + 5 - 4x
\]
2. Distribute the 4 in the term \( 4(x - 2) \):
\[
3 = 4x - 8 + 5 - 4x
\]
3. Combine like terms:
\[
3 = (4x - 4x) + (-8 + 5)
\]
\[
3 = 0x - 3
\]
\[
3 = -3
\]
This is a contradiction, so there is no solution.
Solution: No solution
---
#### Equation 6: \( \frac{5y}{9} - 3 = 6 \)
1. Start with the equation:
\[
\frac{5y}{9} - 3 = 6
\]
2. Add 3 to both sides to isolate the term with \( y \):
\[
\frac{5y}{9} = 6 + 3
\]
\[
\frac{5y}{9} = 9
\]
3. Multiply both sides by 9 to eliminate the denominator:
\[
5y = 9 \cdot 9
\]
\[
5y = 81
\]
4. Divide both sides by 5 to solve for \( y \):
\[
y = \frac{81}{5}
\]
Solution: \( y = \frac{81}{5} \)
---
#### Equation 7: \( \frac{n}{10} = 9 - \frac{n}{4} \)
1. Start with the equation:
\[
\frac{n}{10} = 9 - \frac{n}{4}
\]
2. Eliminate the fractions by finding a common denominator (LCM of 10 and 4 is 20). Multiply every term by 20:
\[
20 \cdot \frac{n}{10} = 20 \cdot 9 - 20 \cdot \frac{n}{4}
\]
\[
2n = 180 - 5n
\]
3. Add \( 5n \) to both sides to get all \( n \)-terms on one side:
\[
2n + 5n = 180
\]
\[
7n = 180
\]
4. Divide both sides by 7 to solve for \( n \):
\[
n = \frac{180}{7}
\]
Solution: \( n = \frac{180}{7} \)
---
#### Equation 8: \( 21.1w + 4.6 = 10.9w \)
1. Start with the equation:
\[
21.1w + 4.6 = 10.9w
\]
2. Subtract \( 10.9w \) from both sides to get all \( w \)-terms on one side:
\[
21.1w - 10.9w + 4.6 = 0
\]
\[
10.2w + 4.6 = 0
\]
3. Subtract 4.6 from both sides to isolate the term with \( w \):
\[
10.2w = -4.6
\]
4. Divide both sides by 10.2 to solve for \( w \):
\[
w = \frac{-4.6}{10.2}
\]
\[
w = -\frac{23}{51}
\]
Solution: \( w = -\frac{23}{51} \)
---
#### Equation 9: \( -5(3 - 4x) = -6 + 20x \)
1. Start with the equation:
\[
-5(3 - 4x) = -6 + 20x
\]
2. Distribute the \(-5\) on the left-hand side:
\[
-5 \cdot 3 + (-5) \cdot (-4x) = -6 + 20x
\]
\[
-15 + 20x = -6 + 20x
\]
3. Subtract \( 20x \) from both sides:
\[
-15 = -6
\]
This is a contradiction, so there is no solution.
Solution: No solution
---
#### Equation 10: \( 9.2z - 4.3 = 50.8 \)
1. Start with the equation:
\[
9.2z - 4.3 = 50.8
\]
2. Add 4.3 to both sides to isolate the term with \( z \):
\[
9.2z = 50.8 + 4.3
\]
\[
9.2z = 55.1
\]
3. Divide both sides by 9.2 to solve for \( z \):
\[
z = \frac{55.1}{9.2}
\]
\[
z = 6
\]
Solution: \( z = 6 \)
---
