Answer:

Option b) -5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Twice of a number is equal to number decreased by five.

Let the number be x. Then, this can be written in the form of equation:

2\times x = x-5

Solving the above equation:

2\times x = x-5\\2x-x = -5\\x = -5

Hence, the number is x = -5.

The correct answer is given by the option b) -5.

4(-8x + 5) = -32x - 26
Margaret [11]

Answer:

No solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

4(-8x + 5) = -32x - 26

Expanding the parentheses:

-32x+20=-32x-26

Adding 32x to both sides:

20=-26

This equation has no solutions, because these two are not equal. Hope this helps!
