Question

VARIABLE EQUATIONS & INEQUALITIES UNIT TEST:
REWRITE THE EQUATION _4X____ + 3 = 10 IN TWO EQUATIONS JOINED BY "AND."
3X- 12

Answer 1

To rewrite the equation \(-4X + 3 = 10\) in two equations joined by "and," we can break it down into two parts:

1. Isolate the term involving \(X\):
\[
-4X + 3 = 10
\]
Subtract 3 from both sides:
\[
-4X = 7
\]

2. Divide both sides by -4 to solve for \(X\):
\[
X = -\frac{7}{4}
\]

Now we can express the original equation as two equations:

1. The equation itself:
\[
-4X + 3 = 10
\]

2. The solution found:
\[
X = -\frac{7}{4}
\]

Thus, we can write it as:

\[
-4X + 3 = 10 \quad \text{AND} \quad X = -\frac{7}{4}
\]

If you meant to join them in a different way or have additional context to consider, please clarify!
