1/4 (20x+8)+3=0 show work
2 answers:
So, you need to do the same operation to each side. Start out by subtracting 3 from each side 1/4 (20x+8) = -3 Then, multiply both sides by 4 40x+8 = -12 Then, subtract 8 from each side 40x = -20 divide both sides by 40 and you get x=-1/2 Hope this helped!
The first thing you should do is distribute 1/4 into (20x+8). You should do this first because of the order of operations: Parenthesis Exponent Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction 5x+2+3=0 Add 2 and 3 together 5x+5=0 Subtract 5 from each side. 5x=-5 Finally, divide each side by 5 x=-1 To check our answer, substitute -1 in as x 1/4(20(-1)+8)+3=0 1/4(-20+8)+3=0 1/4(-12)+3=0 -3+3=0 0=0 x=-1 Hope this helped! Tell me if you have any other questions! :)

Answer:
x < -5
Step-by-step explanation:
- 2x - 7 > x+ 8
Add 2x to each side
- 2x+2x - 7 > x+2x+ 8
-7 > 3x+8
Subtract 8 from each side
-7-8 > 3x+8-8
-15 > 3x
Divide by 3
-15/3 > 3x/3
-5 >x
x < -5
