Question

Solve each of the following equations. a. 24 = -3 + 3n b. 11 + 4x = x - 10 c. -216 = 1 + 7(1 + 8m) d. 3p - 3(2 - 2p) = 34 + 4p You must show all of your work to receive credit.

Answer 1

a. 24 + 3 =3n

27=3n

27/3 =3n/3

9=n

b.4x-x = -10 -11

3x = -21

3x/3 = -21 / 3

x = -7

c. -216 = 1 + 7 + 56m

-216 - 1 - 7 = 56m

- 224 = 56m

- 224 / 56 = 56m / 56

- 4 = m

d. 3p - 6 + 6p = 34 + 4p

3p + 6p - 4p = 34 + 6

5p = 40

5p / 5 = 40 / 5

p = 8
