This translates to "a number" is greater than 45. All you have to do now is translate these words into an algebraic statement. Basically, you replace "a number" with the variable which it is defined for, and you use the "greater than" symbol to show that the variable is greater than the value of 45.
You would have to add a positive 6 to the negative 6 to get zero. Lets say you have -2 in order to get it to zero or just any positive number, you have to add a positive of the same value or higher to be able to get it there. I hope you understand that.
Whatever you do to one side, you have to do to the other.
Try to get all the x values and regular values together.
To do that, just subtract both sides by 6x to cancel it out on one side and subtract it from the other side:
6x-6x+32=-2x-6x
=
32=-8x
now divide both sides by -8 to get the x by itself
32/-8=-8/-8x
= 32/-8=x
-4=x
so your answer is: x= -4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Add subtract then divide
use the distributive property
combine alike terms
add the negative number to the other side
combine alike terms
then divide on both sides to get the variable by itself
