The 3 is in the tenths place
12*2=24
24*3=72
72*4=288
288*5=1440
Answer:
x = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem, we will simply uses properties of addition and multiplication to isolate the x variable for the following equation.
4x - 7 = 45
Now consider the following. First, we must isolate the x term by adding 7 to both sides.
4x - 7 = 45
4x -7 +7 = 45 +7
4x = 52
Second, let's further isolate x by multiplying both sides by 1/4 to create a coefficient of 1 Infront of the x variable.
4x = 52
(1/4) * 4x = 52 * (1/4)
x = 13
Hence, we have solved the equation 4x-7=45 where x=13.

Start off by distributing the numbers into the parentheses:
5(-3x - 2) - (x - 3) = -4(4x + 5) + 13
-15x - 10 - (x - 3) = -16x - 20 + 13
(Note: It's super important to be careful when opening up negative parentheses! -(x-3) is not just - x - 3, it is actually -x + 3 since the negative is distributed in every number!)
-15x - 10 - x + 3 = -16x - 20 + 13
-16x - 7 = -16x - 7
-16x = -16x
0 = 0
There is an infinite number of solutions in this equation.
(When you get 0=0 when solving for a variable, that means that said variable will have infinite solutions, that is, any number plugged into the equation will work)
