Given inequality -3(4-6x) < x+5.
We have -3 in front of Parenthesis.
That represents multiplication of -3 and Parenthesis.
The multiplication of Parenthesis could be done by applying distributive property.
On distributing, we get
-12+18x < x+5
x is added on right side of the inequality. The reverse operation of addition is subtraction. So we need to subtract x from both sides, we get
-12+18x-x < x-x+5
-12+17x < 5
Now, we need to get rid -12 from left side.
So, we need to apply addition property of equality, we need to add 12 on both sides, we get
-12+12+18x < x+5+12
17x < 17
We need to get rid 17 from left side. So we need to apply division property of equality.
On dividing both sides by 17, we get
17x/17 < 17/17
x<1.
Answer:
4x -12
Step-by-step explanation:
Your question answers itself: you use the distributive property to remove the parentheses.
4(x -3) = 4(x) +4(-3) = 4x -12
You start by distributing: 8s-4=7s+12
Combine like terms: 8s-7s=12+4
Solve and get your answer: s=16
Answer:
£2.38
Step-by-step explanation:
Write and solve an equation of ratios:
£1.40 2.5 kg
----------- = ------------
c 4.25 kg
Cross multiplying, we get:
(£1.40)(4.25 kg) = (2.5 kg*c), or
(£1.40)(4.25 kg)
c = -------------------------- = £2.38
2.5 kg
Answer:
24x
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of 24 and a number means that 24 is multiplied by some number. When we use the term "some number" in math, we often use "x" as a representation of that number.
