Question

$$X=3\cdot14X; (4\times4)\times13$$

Solve for X, a

$a=208$

Solution Steps

Consider the first equation. Multiply $3$ and $14$ to get $42$.

$$X=42X$$

Subtract $42X$ from both sides.

$$X-42X=0$$

Combine $X$ and $-42X$ to get $-41X$.

$$-41X=0$$

Divide both sides by $-41$. Zero divided by any non-zero number gives zero.

$$X=0$$

Consider the second equation. Multiply $4$ and $4$ to get $16$.

$$a=16\times 13$$

Multiply $16$ and $13$ to get $208$.

$$a=208$$

The system is now solved.

$$X=0$$ $$a=208$$
