Regroup terms
2(x + 2) = 1
Divided both sides by 2
x + 2 = 1/2
Subtract 2 from both sides
x = 1/2 - 2
Simplify 1/2 - 2 to -3/2
<u>x = -3/2</u>

Solution:
Given expression:

Parenthesis, Exponents, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction.
To solve the given expression using pedmas rule.
First solve the expression with parenthesis.

Next do the exponents.

Finally do the addition.

Hence the answer is 80.
Answer:
input x = - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
A is modelled as y = 5x - 4
B is modelled as y = 3x + 8
We require output of A three times the output of B , then
5x - 4 = 3(3x + 8) ← distribute
5x - 4 = 9x + 24 ( subtract 9x from both sides )
- 4x - 4 = 24 ( add 4 to both sides )
- 4x = 28 ( divide both sides by - 4 )
x = - 7 ← input
