Question

Solve these equations 27x + 14 =500.
600= 12 + 14y

Answer 1

x = 18 , y = 42

Explanation:

27x + 14 = 500

-14 -14

This process above moves the +14 to the right hand side, making it negative 14

27x = 486

To find x, divide 27 by 486

x = 486/27

x = 18

600 = 12 + 14y

Move the 12 to the left hand side to remain the 14y

600 = 12 + 14y

-12 -12

588 = 14y

Divide 14 by 588

588/14 = y

y = 42
