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

What is the slope and y intercept of -2x +3y=-9
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

m = 2/3

b = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b).

x and y are points on the graph.

m is the slope.

b is the y-intercept.

Isolate "y". This means separating it from the other numbers.

-2x +3y = -9

-2x + 2x +3y = -9 + 2x    Add 2x to both sides

3y = 2x - 9

3y/3 = 2x/3 - 9/3      Divide both sides by 3

y = 2x/3 - 9/3      Simplify

y = (2/3)x - 3

Think about which numbers and "m" and "b" now that the equation is in y = mx + b. Include the plus and minus signs.

m = 2/3

b = -3

Answer:

Expression

Step-by-step explanation:

Expressions use numbers, variables, and operations to form a mathematical calculation.

Equations are similar except they use equal signs, so that makes them different than expressions.
