Algebraic Solution

Question 56)

Solution

When y = -3

2(-3-4) = 3(x+2)

-6-8 = 3x + 6

-14 = 3x + 6

3x = -20

X= -20/3 or -6.66

Question 10)

Solution

Solving for x:

-3(x + 3) = -4(y -1)

-3x + 9 = -4y + 4

-3x = -4y -5

X = -4y-5/3

Extraneous solutions: multiplication

One of the basic principles of algebra is that one can multiply both sides of an equation by the same expression without changing the equation's solutions. However, strictly speaking, this is not true, in that multiplication by certain expressions may introduce new solutions that were not present before. For ...
