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

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand
3-(2x-5)=-4(x+2)

Remove unnecessary parentheses
3-2x+5=-4*(x+2)

Reorder the terms in parentheses
3-2x+5=+(-4x-8)

Remove unnecessary parentheses
+3-2x+5=-4x-8

We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.
-2x+4x=-8-3-5

We simplify left and right side of the equation.
+2x=-16

We divide both sides of the equation by 2 to get x.
x=-8

I hope this helps you



3-2x+5 < -4x-8


-2x+4x < -8-8


2x < -16


x < -8

How do you divide $306 into the ratio of 9:5:3? Can someone give me some advice on how to solve this problem?
GarryVolchara [31]
In order to divide $306 into the ratio of 9 to 5 to 3, first you have to make each section of the ratio represented by a variable, and put it into an equation.

9x + 5x + 3x = 306

Our next step is to simplify the left side of the equation by combining all of the like terms, the ones that contain variables.

17x = 306

Finally, to solve this equation, you have to divide both sides by 17 to isolate the variable x on the left side of the equation.

x = 18

However, this is not our answer as it isn't in a ratio format and doesn't really make sense. To find our ratio, we have to multiply each of our initial numbers (9, 5, and 3) by our variable, x.

9 * 18 = 162
5 * 18 = 90
3 * 18 = 54

You can verify that these numbers are correct because if you add them together you get 306.

Your final ratio is 162:90:54.

Hope this helps! :)

Mazyrski [523]
To convert it to kilograms, you just divide by 1000 because 1000 grams are in a kilogram, so 4500 ÷ 1000 = 4.5kg. I hope this helps!
