Concept explainers

Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

Chapter 3.2, Problem 7E
To determine

To calculate: to solve the equation and check the solution.

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 7E

  x=3

Explanation of Solution

Given information: consider the equation provided in the question,

  16=8(x−1)

Calculation:

Use the distributive property to open the parenthesis,

  16=8x−8

Add 8 to both sides,

  16+8=8x−8+824=8x8x=24

Divide 8 to both sides,

  8x8=248x=3

To check the result, substitute the value of x in the equation,

  16=8(3−1)16=8(2)16=16

Hence, x=3
