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.

Answer to Problem 25E

The equation is 4−7x=12−3x and the solution for the equation is x=−2

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Provided verbal sentence is that“four minus 7 times a number is equal to 12 minus three times a number”.

Calculation:

Assume the unknown number to be x

Therefore,

four minus 7 times a number is 4−7x

12 minus three times a numberis 12−3x 

Therefore,

The equation from the verbal sentence can be written as,

  4−7x=12−3x   

And solve the equation,

  4−7x=12−3x                                           Write the original equation4−7x+3x=12−3x+3x                             Add 3x to both sides4−4x=12                                                   Simplify4−12−4x=12−12                                    Subtract 12 from both sides−8−4x=0                                                  Simplify−8−4x+8=0+8                                        Add 8 to both side−4x=8                                                        Simplify −4x−4=8−4                                                    Divide each side (−4)x=−2                                                          Simplify

Hence,the solution of the equation 4−7x=12−3x is x=−2
