Mathematics

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 :)

PLEASE ANSWER + BRAINLIEST!!<br><br> Factor completely.<br><br> 4k - 20k^9 =<br><br> 3b^2 - 108 =
Neporo4naja [7]
4k-20k^9=4k(1-5k^8)=4k\left[1^2-(k^4\sqrt5)^2\right]\\\\=4k(1-k^4\sqrt5)(1+k^4\sqrt5)=4k\left[1^2-(k^2\sqrt[4]5)^2\right](1+k^4\sqrt5)\\\\=4k(1-k^2\sqrt[4]5)(1+k^2\sqrt[4]5)(1+k^4\sqrt5)\\\\=4k\left[1^2-(k\sqrt[8]5)^2\right](1+k^2\sqrt[4]5)(1+k^4\sqrt5)\\\\=4k(1-k\sqrt[8]5)(1+k\sqrt[8]5)(1+k^2\sqrt[4]5)(1+k^4\sqrt5)

3b^2-108=3(b^2-36)=3(b^2-6^2)=3(b-6)(b+6)

Used:\ (a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2
