5x-20+2= -173
5x-18= -173
5x= -155
x= -31
First, you multiply everything in parentheses by 5 and then add the 2. Next, you subtract 20-2 which will give you -18. Then, you add 18 to both sides which will give you -155. Finally, you divide -155 by 5 to give you a final answer of -31.

Answer:
x = -31

Explanation:
To get the value of x, we will need to isolate the x on one side of the equation.
This can be done as follows:
5(x-4) + 2 = -173

1- get rid of the brackets:
5x - 5(4) + 2 = -173
5x - 20 + 2 = -173

2- Combine like terms:
5x - 20 + 2 = -173
5x - 18  = -173
5x = -173 + 18
5x = -155

3- Get rid of the coefficient of the x:
5x = -155
x = -155/5
x = -31

Hope this helps :)

You have to fill in the blank for this one 4/9 divided by blank equals 12
photoshop1234 [79]

For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable.

We have then:

x: unknown number

We now write the expression that models the problem:

\frac{\frac{4}{9}}{x} = 12

From here, we clear the value of x.

We have then:

\frac{4}{9}=12x

\frac{4}{9(12)}=x

x=\frac{4}{108}

x=\frac{1}{27}

Answer:

4/9 divided by 1/27 equals 12
