here are the steps i'd take. if anything is unclear, let me know and i can explain!

-2(x+12)=-x-14

let's open the parentheses on the left side

-2x-24=-x-14

and let's move variables to one side and numbers to the other.

-x=10

let's multiply each side by -1 to get positive x

x=-10

hope i helped! good luck.

Answer: if you want to know what x is then x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

−2(x+12)=−x−14

Use the distributive property to multiply −2 by x+12.

−2x−24=−x−14

Add x to both sides.

−2x−24+x=−14

Combine −2x and x to get −x.

−x−24=−14

Add 24 to both sides.

−x=−14+24

Add −14 and 24 to get 10.

−x=10

Multiply both sides by −1.

x=−10

Kate and Jean paint a house together in 6 days. If they work alone, Kate takes 5 fewer days than Jean would take to do the same
navik [9.2K]
X = number of days it would take Kate to paint the house by herself. .
<span>x+5 = number of days it would take Jean to paint the house by herself.</span>
<span>Together, they paint the house in 6 days: </span>
<span>1/x + 1/(x+5) = 1/6 </span>
<span>Multiply both sides by 6x(x+5) </span>
<span>6(x+5) + 6x = x(x+5) </span>
<span>12x + 30 = x^2 + 5x </span>
<span>x^2 − 7x − 30 = 0 
</span>therefore the answer is A.

( simultaneous equations)
daser333 [38]

Answer:

See method below.

Step-by-step explanation:

m/n + n/3 = 2

2/m + n = 4    

First  eliminate the fractions by multiplying the first equation by 3n:-

3m + n^2 = 6n...........(1)

and the second equation by m:-

2 + mn = 4m..............(2)

Now we solve using substitution:-

From equation  (2):-

4m - mn = 2

m = 2 / (4 - n)

Now substitute for m in equation (1):-

6/ (4 - n) + n^2 = 6n

6 + n^2(4 - n) = 6n(4 - n)

6 + 4n^2 - n^3 = 24n - 6n^2

n^3 - 10n^2 + 24n - 6 = 0

This will not factor so we could solve this using graphical software.

To find the values of the variable m we substitute the found values of n into one of the original equations and solve for m.
