The answer should be. 5x=-12
The first thing you should do is solve the equation yourself.
1) Distribute the 2.
6x + 4 = 2x – 16
2) Next, you'll want to get the x's on one side. So add -2x to both sides.
6x + 4 + -2x = 2x + -2x - 16
4x + 4 = -16
3) Now subtract 4 from both sides
4x + 4 – 4 = -16 – 4
4x = -12
4) Finally, divide both sides by 4
4x/4 = -12/4
x = –3
To solve this problem all you need to do is look back out you work, and figure out the correct solution. The answer the question is The student made an error in Step 1.
Answer:
The person invested $3500 at 7% and $2500 at 5%
Step-by-step explanation:
We can say that 
because the investment is equal both in one as in another, where x is the income from the investment.
Solving the equation we have:
Then to get the incomes:
At 7%: 
And at 5%: 
Finally we can demonstrate the answer because the income at 7% + income at 5% are 3500+2500=$6000
Answer:
your answer should be -4/5
