My answer-

Simplifying 5x + -14 = 8x + 4
 
Reorder the terms: -14 + 5x = 8x + 4 Reorder the terms: -14 + 5x = 4 + 8x
 
Solving -14 + 5x = 4 + 8x Solving for variable 'x'.


Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-8x' to each side of the equation. -14 + 5x + -8x = 4 + 8x + -8x

Combine like terms: 5x + -8x = -3x -14 + -3x = 4 + 8x + -8x

Combine like terms: 8x + -8x = 0 -14 + -3x = 4 + 0 -14 + -3x = 4 Add '14' to

 each side of the equation. -14 + 14 + -3x = 4 + 14

Combine like terms: -14 + 14 = 0 0 + -3x = 4 + 14 -3x = 4 + 14

 Combine like terms: 4 + 14 = 18 -3x = 18 <span>

Divide each side by '-3'. x = -6

Simplifying x = -6

Remember, you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides


get 1 of the x on one side

5x-14=8x+4
minus 5x both sides (we want on left side because 8>5 and I like positive stuff)

5x-5x-14=8x-5x+4
0-14=3x+4
-14=3x+4
minus 4 both sides
-14-4=3x+4-4
-18=3x+0
-18=3x
divide both sides by 3
remember, negative/positive=negative
-18/3=(3x)/3
-6=x(3/3)
-6=x(1)
-6=x
x=-6

What is 6(x+3)=2(2x+5)
koban [17]

Answer:

x = -4 ;

Step-by-step explanation:

6(x+3)=2(2x+5)

Distribution

6x+18 = 4x + 10

Subtract 4x on both sides

2x+18 = 10

Subtract 18 on both sides

2x = -8

Divided by 2

x = -4

Now if we have to substitute the value of X

6(-4+3)=2(-8+5)

Parenthesis first

6(-1) = 2(-3)

-6 = -6

Imogene invested $8,000 in a bank account that pays 8 percent simple interest at the end of each year. Her friend invested the s
Natali5045456 [20]

The right system of equations to describe the situation would be on the form:

x1 = 8000 + y1*t

and

x2 = 8000 + y2*t

where x1 and x2 represents the total money of Imogene and her friend respectively at the end of t years.

Now for the value of amount earned, y1 and y2:

y1=8000*0.08

y2=2000*√(t-2)
