## kitsune0724 one year ago Solve for the following equation: -3/(7x)+5/(14x)=1 Solve for the system for x 4x+2y=16 x+y=4 Solve for the system for x 2x+y=24 5x-y=-3 Solve for x 5x= 3-10x Please and Thank you. Also please draw it out for me. I appreciate for time and help.

$\frac{-3}{7x}+\frac{5}{14x} = 1$Multiply both sides by 14x to get rid of the fractions. Solve for x. $4x+2y = 16$$x+y=4$Multiply the second equation by -2, add to the first. Solve for x. $2x+y=24$$5x-y=-3$Add the two equations. Solve for x. $5x=3-10x$Add 10x to both sides. Simplify to solve for x. You need to actually *do* the problems to learn anything...do you have trouble doing them, or do you not understand what to do?

i understand when it's explained and written out for me. i need to see the steps.

3. whpalmer4

I've described what to do for each of the problems. Try to do what I suggested, and post your work.

Okay. Thank you.

I passed my quiz with your help. I appreciate it.

If my help was really doing the job, you wouldn't need my help any longer! :-)

So, what do you get for the first equation after you multiply everything by 14x?

8. whpalmer4

Do you see why I chose 14x, and not say 7x or 9x?

9. kitsune0724

yes.

10. whpalmer4

Okay, so what do you get for the first equation after you multiply everything by 14x?

I'm sorry but i had a long day today and need some sleep before I do anymore math.
