Answer:

<em>x</em><em> </em>= -6

Explanation:

First we collect like terms

<em>5x</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-18</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>2</em>

<em>5x</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-30</em><em> </em>

( because when both signs are the same we add them)

Then we decide both sides by five so that only x will remain

<em>5x</em><em> </em><em>/</em><em> </em><em>5</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-30</em><em> </em><em>/</em><em> </em><em>5</em>

<em>x</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-6</em>

Thus, the value of <em>x</em><em> </em>is -6

Answer:

x = −6

Step-by-step explanation:

I like to start off by simplifying the equation! Then, I use inverse operations to narrow it down until I reach the answer!

5x + 12= −18

5x + 12 <u>− 12</u>= −18 <u>− 12 </u>

5x = −30

5x<u>/5</u> = -30<u>/5</u>

<u>x = -6</u>

What is 3 3/8 tons equal to in pounds?
guapka [62]

1 ton is equivalent to 2000 pounds

we have to find how many pounds 3 3/8 tons are equal to

if 1 ton --> 2000 pounds

we can break down the fraction into 3 + 3/8

then 3 tons --> 2000 x 3 = 6000 pounds

3/8 ton ---> 2000 x 3/8 = \frac{3*2000}{8} = \frac{6000}{8} = 750 pounds

after adding 6000 + 750 = 6750 pounds

answer is 6750 pounds

Ivenika [448]
She spent $6.12 on the muffins for her and her friends, and she has $8.36 left on her gift card. By multiplying 6 by $1.02, you get the amount she spent, and by subtracting $14.48 by $6.12, I find how much she has left on her gift card.

Solve for x: -4(x + 10) - 6 = -3(x - 2
evablogger [386]
-4(x+10)-6=-3(x-2)
-4x-40-6=-3x+6
-4x-46=-3x+6
-4x-46+46=-3x+6+46
-4x=-3x+52
-4x+3x=-3x+3x+52
-x=52
(-x/-1)=(52/-1)
x=-52
