The number is 6 because five times 6 is 30, and 30 minus 2 is 28. You could also solve this backwards in the future and take 28 plus 2 and then divide that number by 5 (opposite of subtracting 2 is adding two, opposite of multiplying by five is dividing by 5). 

5x-2=28    (writing it this way might also help, because now you just have to solve for x)

2 less than (-2) 5 times a number (5x) is (=) 28 (28)
-2+5x=28
add 2 to both sides
5x=30
divide both sides by 5
x=6

the number is 6

4(-4x - 3) > 36 with the steps
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

x < -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide both sides by 4. Since 4 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.

−4x−3> 36/4

​Divide 36 by 4 to get 9.

−4x−3>9

Add 3 to both sides.

−4x>9+3

Add 9 and 3 to get 12.

−4x>12

Divide both sides by −4. Since −4 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.

x< 12/-4

​ Divide 12 by −4 to get −3.

x < -3
