Solve Algebra Problems

Daryl Said:

How would i solve these algebra problems?

We Answered:

add 10 to the other side
subtract four from both sides
you will get 7y=6
divide both sides by 7


16xy-17xy=-xy
14x+8x=22x
22x-xy
add xy to the other side
22x=xy
divide by x
22=y
then put that in to the original

Alicia Said:

How do I solve algebra problems like this?

We Answered:

You could try expanding out the left side, collecting all the terms on one side of the equation, and then trying to factor

(3x^2+15)^2 = 100 + 3x
(3x^2+15)(3x^2+15) = 100 + 3x
9x^4 + 90x^2 + 225 = 100 + 3x
9x^4 + 90x^2 - 3x + 125 = 0

However, I don't see how to factor this.

So instead, you could use a graphic approach:

graph both
y = (3x^2 + 15)^2 and
y = 100 + 3x

Where they intersect is/are the solution(s).

I hope this helps!

Allison Said:

What are the best softwares to buy to help solve algebra problems?

We Answered:

You are looking for a CAS [Computer Algebra System]
preferably simple and free.

Mathematica, Maple, Matlab, etc. are expensive and can be
as difficult to master as the math to be solved, but
they do come up with the answers if you know how
to get there.

Take a look at swik.net/cas+math or do a search on
"CAS math" and take what you like.

Angela Said:

How do you solve these algebra problems?

We Answered:

7x=3(2x+5)
7x = 6x+15
7x-6x = 15
x = 15

and

8a=1(9a-2)
8a = 9a-2
9a-8a = 2
a = 2

Rhonda Said:

Do you ever forget the formulas to solve algebra problems?

We Answered:

Some of them, like the quadratic formula, I will probably remember for my whole life. But others, I forgot soon after I learned them, because they're just not that important overall. After going through algebra, geometry, trig, calc 1& 2, linear algebra, and now calc 3, there's no way I could possibly remember every formula I've ever learned. But that's OK, because with the internet, you can look up any formula in existence in a matter of seconds. It's just nice to know the more important and common ones off the top of your head.

Cindy Said:

How do you solve Algebra problems like x - 14x + 49 = 64?

We Answered:

- 13x = 15
13x = - 15
x = - 15/13

Marc Said:

what can i do to remember how to solve algebra problems?

We Answered:

It's actually easy to do the problems
For each example from the book, there's always a way to solve the problem and those kind of problems will be on the exercise with different numbers and variables. I think that all u need to do, in order to solve other problems, is to read the example carefully to see how they work it out, and then try to remember the pattern or steps or methods. That way when you face similar problems, u will see that there's a pattern to do it. That's what i would do :)

Good luck with the tests!!

P.S: im not a native english speaker or writer so if there's an incorrect grammar, please forgive me and try to understand it :)
