Answer:

x =3

Step-by-step explanation:

3(4x + 4) = 2(5x+9) - 12

First step is to open the brackets by multiplying. It becomes

3×4x + 3×4 = 2×5x + 2×9 -12

12x + 12 = 10x + 18 - 12

Collecting like terms on the right hand side and left hand side of the equation, it becomes

12x -10x = 18 -12 -12

2x = -6

Negative sign on the right hand side of the equation overwhelms the positive sign on left hand side of the equation. It becomes

2x = -6

x = -6/2 = -3

Checking

3(4×-3 + 4) = 2(5×-3+9) - 12

-24 = -12-12= -24

So x = -3

lubasha [3.4K]

Total Time = (M x K) / (M + K)
5 = (8 x K) / (8 + K)
40 + 5 K = 8K
40 = 3K
King can do the job in 13.33 Hours

King could mow (1 / 13.33) of the lawn in one hour.
