4z-7+4z-7+8x+2=180 How Do You Find The Value Of X And Z ?

Answer Question

4 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    First simplify by completing the addition. 4z-7+4z-7+8x+2=180 so
    8z+8x-12=180 then 8z+8x=192. That's as far as you can get. If z=1 then x=23
    if z=0 then x=24. But with what you gave you will never know for sure what each is.

      Collecting terms, we have
      8z + 8x - 12 = 180

      Add 12 to both sides of the equation
      8z + 8x = 192

      Divide both sides of the equation by 8
      z + x = 24.    This is the relation between z and x. You can solve for z in terms of x, or x in terms of z. This is the equation for a line through the points (0, 24) and (24, 0), which is to say that both the x and y intercepts are 24.

      x = 24 - z    (subtract z from both sides)
      z = 24 - x    (subtract x from both sides)

        4z  - 7 + 4z - 7 + 8x + 2 = 180  
             + 7       + 7         -  2 = 180 + 7 + 7 - 2
        4z + 0 + 4z + 0 + 8x + 0 = 192

        8z + 8x = 192

        ( 8z + 8x )     =  192          =
               8                 8            

        ( z + x )  =  24

        I think this is right but I'm not positive!
        4z-7+4z-7+8x+2=180      x=0 z=24
        8z-14+8x+2=180
        8z-12+8x=180
            +12      +12
        8z-8x=192
            +8x  +8x
        8z=192+8x
        /8   /8    /8
        z=24+x
        4(24+x) -7 +4(24+x) -7 + 8x+2=180
        96+x-7+96+x-7+8x+2=180
        180+10x=180
        x=0
        8z-12=180         Here I plugged in x=0
             +12   +12
        8z=192
        z=24

        You can only use substitution when you have 2 equations with both the variables. You can't plug it back into the same 1
