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 :)

Sammy and David were selling water bottles to raise money for new football uniforms famous or 5 water bottles for every 3 water
ANTONII [103]
In the given question, we come to know that Sammy sold 5 bottles for every 3 water bottles sold by David. In this case we get the ratio as 5:3
Now this ratio indicates that the total number of bottles can be divided into 8 parts for finding out a single part. the total number of water bottles that are sold by Sammy and David together are 160.
Now on dividing this total number of bottles by 8 we get the 20 as one part.
The,
Number of Bottles sold by Sammy = 5 * 20
                                                         = 100
Number of bottles sold by David = 3 * 20
                                                   = 60
So Sammy sold 100 water bottles and David sold 60 water bottles from the total of 160 water bottles.
