Let's solve each equation step by step.
Equation 1:
\[ 3x - (9x - 3) = 3(4 - 2x) \]
First, simplify the left side: \[ 3x - 9x + 3 = 3(4 - 2x) \] \[ -6x + 3 = 12 - 6x \]
Now, add \(6x\) to both sides: \[ -6x + 6x + 3 = 12 - 6x + 6x \] \[ 3 = 12 \]
Since \(3\) does not equal \(12\), this equation has no solution.
Equation 2:
\[ 7x - (x + 3) = 3(2x - 1) \]
Simplifying both sides: \[ 7x - x - 3 = 6x - 3 \] \[ 6x - 3 = 6x - 3 \]
This identity holds true for all values of \(x\). The solution is: \[ \text{All } x \]
Equation 3:
\[ 3 - 5(x - 1) = x - 2 \]
Distributing on the left side: \[ 3 - 5x + 5 = x - 2 \] \[ 8 - 5x = x - 2 \]
Now, add \(5x\) to both sides: \[ 8 = 6x - 2 \]
Add \(2\) to both sides: \[ 10 = 6x \]
Now, divide by \(6\): \[ x = \frac{10}{6} = \frac{5}{3} \]
Equation 4:
\[ 0.2(x - 2) - 0.4(x + 3) = 0.4 - 0.6x \]
Distributing: \[ 0.2x - 0.4 - 0.4x - 1.2 = 0.4 - 0.6x \] Combine like terms on the left: \[ (0.2x - 0.4x) - 1.6 = 0.4 - 0.6x \] \[ -0.2x - 1.6 = 0.4 - 0.6x \]
Add \(0.6x\) to both sides: \[ -0.2x + 0.6x - 1.6 = 0.4 \] Combine like terms: \[ 0.4x - 1.6 = 0.4 \]
Add \(1.6\) to both sides: \[ 0.4x = 2 \] Now, divide by \(0.4\): \[ x = \frac{2}{0.4} = 5 \]
Summary of Solutions
- No solution (first equation).
- All \(x\) (second equation).
- \(x = \frac{5}{3}\) (third equation).
- \(x = 5\) (fourth equation).
