Answer: x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Starting:
x-5(x+1)=3x+2
Simplify the left side:
-4x-5=3x+2
Move all the terms with an x to the left:
-7x-5=2
Move all the terms without an x to the right:
-7x=7
Divide both sides by -7:
x = -1
Not sure either I need the question
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem states that y = 12 when x = 36. 36/12 is 3. This means that y is a third of what x is. This would mean that if x = 60, y would be a third of 60 which is 20 since 60/3 is 20.
Answer:
s=40
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine s and 1/2.
150−s/2=120+1/4s
Combine 1/4and s.
150−s/2=120+s/4
Move all terms containing s to the left side of the equation.
150−3s/4=120
Move all terms not containing s to the right side of the equation.
−3s/4=−30
Multiply both sides of the equation by −4/3.
−4/3 x (−3s/4)=−4/3 x−30 => S=40
