Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(2 (3 x - 4))/5 = -4

Multiply both sides of (2 (3 x - 4))/5 = -4 by 5/2:

(5×2 (3 x - 4))/(2×5) = -4×5/2

5/2×2/5 = (5×2)/(2×5):

(5×2)/(2×5) (3 x - 4) = -4×5/2

5/2 (-4) = (5 (-4))/2:

(5×2 (3 x - 4))/(2×5) = (-4×5)/2

(5×2 (3 x - 4))/(2×5) = (2×5)/(2×5)×(3 x - 4) = 3 x - 4:

3 x - 4 = (-4×5)/2

(-4)/2 = (2 (-2))/2 = -2:

3 x - 4 = 5×-2

5 (-2) = -10:

3 x - 4 = -10

Add 4 to both sides:

3 x + (4 - 4) = 4 - 10

4 - 4 = 0:

3 x = 4 - 10

4 - 10 = -6:

3 x = -6

Divide both sides of 3 x = -6 by 3:

(3 x)/3 = (-6)/3

3/3 = 1:

x = (-6)/3

The gcd of -6 and 3 is 3, so (-6)/3 = (3 (-2))/(3×1) = 3/3×-2 = -2:

Answer:  x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

HERE IS HOW YOU COULD SOLVE IT !!

Different ways to solve equations. We have 4 ways of solving one-step equations: Adding, Substracting, multiplication and division. If we add the same number to both sides of an equation, both sides will remain equal.

WHICH THE ANSWER WOULD BE x= -2

A $60,000 piece of machinery depreciates in value at a rate of 11% per year. About what will its value be in 5 years?
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

$27000

Step-by-step explanation:

11% of 60000 is 3300 per year. You need the value for five years so multiply 3300 * 5 to get 33000. 33000 is the total depreciation of the five years. Then subtract 33000 from 60000 to get 27000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Just mutiply x on both sides which gives you 2x^2 + 12x then you mutiply 2x^2 then subtract that number on both sides and it gives you x = something then you distribute it on 8(something) - 18 you subtract

4(x-12)^1/3 = -16<br> Help please, thank you
Lina20 [59]

Hello!

4 (x-12) ^ 1/3 = -16

Step 1. Simplify each side of the equation, 4/ 3x + −16 = −16 and 4 /3 x −16 = −16

Step 2. Add 16 to both sides, 4 /3 x − 16 + 16 = −16 + 16

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 3/4, ( 3/4)*(4/3x)=(3/4)*(0)

Final Answer: x= 0

Hope I could help! :)
