how do you find x? i know this is easy, but i forgot how. \n2x+1 over 2 = 96

2X+1 /2 = 96\n2X+1 = 96 X 2\n2X+1 = 192\n2X = 192 -1\n2X = 191\nX = 191/2\nX = 95.5

7x + 1 = 5x + 9\nHere you go,\n7x - 5x = 9 - 1\n2x  = 8\nx = 8/2\nx = 4\n\nHave a nice day\n\n:)

____________________________________________________\n| \nBecause the bottom number is the same- X, so u add the top number-1+2, and u get 3. let me show you-- 1/x+2/x=3/x\nArent i right???!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, that answer is absolutely correct.\nYou must make an equation to find the answer. It would be:\n3X - 4 = 2X + 3.\nX is the variable(in place) for the number you are trying to find. \nYou want to make X all by itself on one side of the equal sign and a number(the answer) all by itself on the other side of the equal sign, saying that X = the number. \nNow you need to make X to be only on one side of the equal sign.  3X-2X - 4 = 2X-2X + 3\n(Now the equation is: X - 4 = 3)\nNow you add 4 to both sides of the equation, to make a number be only on one side of the equal sign.\nX -4+4 =  3+4 (Now it is X = 7) The answer is 7. Then when you get the answer you check it to make sure it is right by putting 7 in place of the X.

just solve it. i think it comes out to -1x=1x\n|x-2| = |x+2| -2\n\n-1x= 3x -2\n-1x= -1x\nsorry if im wrong havent done alegebra in a while :)

You can't really answer that question the way it was asked.  If you know a value of x or y, you can find the other value though.\n\nFor example, say you want to find the x-intercept (where y=0)\n\ny = 3x + 2\n0 = 3x + 2\n-2 = 3x\n-2/3 = x\n\nThere you go, you can do this for any point you know is on the line.

First of all, you're supposed to distribute the 3 before you add the 3 to it. When you distribute, you just multiply the first number by the numbers in the parenthises(individually). I'll try to explain as I go along. But where did you get the x in place of the 4, and then you made it a 4 again? Anyway,:\n2 + 3(2x + 4)\nDistribute the 3 to (2x + 4)---\n2 + 6x + 12\nAdd the 2 to the 12(all the operations are addition, so you don't have to worry about confusing the signs)---\n6x + 14\nAnd since there are no like terms left, that's your answer: \n______\n|6x +14|\n*********\nAlso, people have been telling you what x equals, but that's only because it's kind of confusing when you put "2 + 3(2x + x) = 5(2x + 4)". It seemed like that was the problem instead of you thinking the two equaled each other.

x=x is the simplest...\n\nMake up any expression, simplify it a little bit, and set them equal.

You just factor\n(2x-1)(x-2)=0\nx=2, 1/2

The unfortunate problem here is that I don't know if you mean x-3 over 6(2x+1)/4(x-3/3(92x+1)or x-3/6(2x+1) over 4(x-3)/3(92x+1). But here's my GUESS. 94X+1 over 16x+7.  x=4.

Yours is X. Mine is Y.\n\n3(X - 2) = Y + 2\nX + 2 = Y - 2\n\nSubtract the second equation from the first:\n\n2X - 8 = 4\n2X = 12\nX = 6\n\nY = 10\n\nPerhaps fizban would like the riddle better if you substituted cute little bunnies for cigarettes.

Let x and y be your numbers.  Your equations, therefore, are the following:\n\nx+y = 72\nx-y = 12\n\nDo you need to actually solve for x and y as well, or just set up the equations?  If you also need to solve, then write your two equations one on top of the other, then subtract to get an equation in one term only:\n\nx + y = 72\nx - y = 12\n----------------\n0x + 2y = 60\n\nSo, 2y = 60, which means y = 30\n\nNow substitute y=30 into one of the original equations to solve for x:\n\nx + y = 72\nx + 30 = 72\nx = 72  30 = 42\n\nSo your two numbers are 30 and 42\n\n~ ♥ ~

You've just got to do the cross-multiply trick.  Sooo...\n4(x-2)=24 -> 4x-8=24 -> 4x=32 -> x=8
