Answer:
x-6 = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 8= -2
Add 8 to each side
3x - 8+8= -2+8
3x = 6
Divide by 3
3x/3 = 6/2
x =2
We want to find x-6
2-6 = -4
Move negative 4 to the right till you get to positive 3. Then Move negative 3 to the left 4 times
<span>Carl has 3 bags in total. One backpack weighs 4 kg and the rest two checking bags have the equal weight. The total weight of 3 bags is given to be 35 kg.
Let the weight of each checking bag is w kg. So we can write:
2 x (Weight of a checking bag) + Weight of Backpack = 35
Using the values, we get:
2w+ 4 = 35
Using this equation we can find the weight of each checking bag, as shown below.
2w = 31
w = 31/2
w = 15.5
Thus, the weight of each checking bag is 15.5 kg
