What is -2(x+3)=4x-3

Mathematics

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

mutiply both sides by -2

(-2)(x)= -2x

(-2)(3)= -6

-2x-6= 4x-3

move 4x to the other side

sign changes from +4x to -4x

-2x-4x-6= 4x-4x-3

-2x-4x-6= -3

-6x-6= -3

move -6 to the other side

sign changes from -6 to +6

-6x-6+6= -3+6

-6x= 3

divide both sides by -6 to get x by itself

-6x/-6= 3/-6

Cross out -6 and -6, divide by -6 and then becomes 1*1*x= x

x= -3/6

Reduce the fraction by dividing by 3 for the numerator and denominator

-3/3= -1

6/3= 2

Answer: x= -1/2

Answer:

x=-.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First distribute -2 to x and three to get -2x-6

then write your equation, -2x-6=4x-3

Next add 2x to both sides and do the same with 3

-3=6x

Then divide -3 by 6 which gives you -.5

What is 8(c-9)=6(2c-12)-4c? Solve for c. Please show your work.
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

c= ℝ

Step-by-step explanation:

8(c-9)=6(2c-12)-4c

Distribute left side.

8*c+8*-9=6(2c-12)-4c

8c-72=6(2c-12)-4c

Distribte right side.

8c-72=6*2c+6*-12-4c

8c-72=12c-72-4c

Combine like terms.

8c-72=8c-72

Since the two sides are exactly the same, this means that any number for c will satisfy the equation.

Therefore, c= ℝ (all real numbers)

Ierofanga [76]

Answer: 30%


Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to find the increase in numbers

26-20= 6

Now you find the percent. This means you're looking for the percent 6 is equal to when compared to 20. The easiest way is to divide the increase by the original number

6/20= 0.3

To convert that to percent, multiply it by 100

0.3 * 100= 30%

There was a 30% increase.
