Studdy Solution
STEP 1
What is this asking?
We've got two equations, and we need to find the value of that makes the first one true, and the value of that makes the second one true!
Watch out!
Don't forget to distribute correctly and combine like terms carefully.
Keep track of those negative signs!
STEP 2
1. Solve the first equation
2. Solve the second equation
STEP 3
Alright, let's **start** with the first equation: .
First, we need to **distribute** that 8 to both terms inside the parentheses.
Think of it like sharing the 8 with both the and the .
STEP 4
So, times gives us , and times gives us .
Now our equation looks like this: .
STEP 5
Now, let's **combine** those terms on the left side.
We have and , and adding them together gives us .
So, our equation becomes .
STEP 6
Let's **get all the** **terms** on one side.
We can do this by adding to both sides of the equation.
This gives us , which simplifies to .
STEP 7
Now, let's **isolate** the term by adding 24 to both sides: .
This simplifies to .
STEP 8
Finally, we **divide** both sides by 18 to solve for : .
This gives us .
Awesome!
STEP 9
Let's **tackle** the second equation: .
First, we'll **combine** the terms on the left side: gives us .
So, our equation is now .
STEP 10
Now, let's **move** that to the left side by subtracting it from both sides: .
This simplifies to .
STEP 11
Lastly, we **divide** both sides by to find : .
This gives us .
Fantastic!
STEP 12
For the first equation, we found .
For the second equation, we found .
We did it!
