Answer:

x = - 3 / 2 ( in decimal form = - 1.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

9(x - 1) - 8x = -3(x + 5)

left side: 9(x - 1) - 8x

Expand... 9x - 9 - 8x

             = (9x - 8x) - 9

             = 1x - 9 or <em>x - 9</em>

right side: -3(x + 5)

Expand... <em>-3x - 15</em>

         

combine :

x - 9 = -3x - 15

Add 9 to both sides to get x alone

x - 9 + 9 = -3x - 15 + 9

x = -3x - 15 + 9

x = -3x - 6

Add 3x to both sides

x + 3x  = -3x - 6 + 3x

simplified, 4x = -6

Now divided 4 from both sides

4x / 4 = -6 / 4

simplify, x = -6 / 4

You can reduce the fraction by dividing it by 2

(-6 / 2) / (4 / 2) = -3 / 2

Hope this helps, Let me know if you have any questions !

Have a nice day :)

Cherie accepted a job through an employment agency. The job pays $1,100 a week. The agency charges 30% of her first 4 weeks pay.
Leto [7]
If this job pays 1100 a week, in four weeks Cherie would make 4400. If she’s giving a 30% cut to the agency for four weeks, she’d be giving 330 of every weeks paycheck. At the end of those four weeks, she’d end up giving $1,320 to the agency.
