5x + 9 = x - 23
move x to the other side
sign changes from +x to -x
5x-x+9= x-x-23 ( combine like terms)
5x-x+9= -23
4x+9= -23
move -9 to the other side
4x+9-9= -23-9
4x= -23-9
4x= -32
divide both sides by 4 to get x by itself
4x/4= -32/4
answer:
x= -8
900/12= 75
780/12= 65
75+65=140
The answer is a
4(4x)+(x)
= 16x+x
Combine like terms
16x+x
(16x+x)
= 17x
x=17
I hope that's help ! Good night .
K = -48
1. subtract 5 from both sides
-4 = k/12
2. multiply 12 from both sides to get k alone
-48 = k
