Answer: x = -11

Step-By-Step:
We can start by combining like terms on the left side.
-20 - x = 4x - (3x - 2)
Now we need to distribute the negative on the right side.
-20 - x = 4x - 3x + 2
Now combine like terms on the right.
-20 - x = x + 2
Now add 20 to the other side
- x = x + 22
Subtract x from the left side.
-2x = 22
Now divide by -2.
x = -11

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x -20 -4x =4x -(3x -2)

3x - 20 -4x = 4x -3x+2

-x-20 =x +2

-20-2=x +x

-22=2x

x= -22/2

x=-11

Find the prime factorization of each number: <br> 11. 29 <br> 12. 168

Ray Of Light [21]

29 is a prime number.
Factors of 29: 1 , 29

168 is a composite number, therefore you can find the prime factorization for it. Divide prime factors until what is left is a prime number. Use the tree factor. See attached picture:

Use the functions a(x) = 3x + 10 and b(x) = 2x − 8 to complete the function operations listed below.

Gnoma [55]

For part A, you simply add the two functions a(x) and b(x). The resulting function is then (a+b)(x) = 5x +2.

For part B, you multiply the functions a(x) and b(x). Using the FOIL method, we obtain, 6x^2 -24x + 20x - 80. Simplifying, we get, (a*b)(x) = 6x^2 -4x - 80.

For part C, you replace x in the function a(x) with the expression from b(x). This results to: a[b(x)] = 3(2x - 8) +10. Simplifying, a[b(x)] = 6x - 14.
