Step-by-step explanation:
We want to simplify 
We expand using the distributive property to get:

This implies that:

We perform the subtraction now to get:

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
absolute(5x + 6) = x
There are 2 solutions to this
Solution 1
5x + 6 = x Subtract 5x from both sides.
5x - 5x + 6 = x - 5x
6 = - 4x Divide by - 4
6/ - 4 = -4x / -4
x = - 1.5
Solution 2
5x + 6 = - x
6 = -x - 5x
6 = - 6x
x = 6/-6
x = - 1
Here is a graph which shows the solutions.
Answer: second one is the answer
Hope this helps, im sure of my answer
Answer:
n = - 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Eight plus the quotient of a number and 3 is −2
Expressing in mathematical terms, we have;
8 + (n/3) = -2
To solve for n;
Multiply all through by 3.
3*8 + 3(n/3) = 3 * (-2 )
24 + n = - 6
n = -6 - 24
n = - 30
