Answer:

A) x = 1/2

B) m = -4

n = -3

Explanation:

A)


15-0.5(4x-2)+4x=17

Expand the brackets:


\implies 15-2x+1+4x=17

Collect and combine like terms:


\implies 2x+16=17

Subtract 16 from both sides:


\implies 2x=1

Divide both sides by 2:


\implies x = \frac12

B) Equation 1: n = m + 1

Equation 2: m = 2n + 2

Rewrite equation 1 to make m the subject:

m = n - 1

Subtract m = n - 1 from equation 2 to eliminate m:

0 = n + 3

Solve for n:

n = -3

Substitute n = -3 into either of the original equations and solve for m:

m = 2(-3) + 2

⇒ m = -4
