Answer 1

I believe the answer is 6 because if you use process of elmination it comes out to be 6 hopfully it helps

Answer 2

Answer:  The required solution is x = -0.69.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to solve the following equation for the value of x :

$78(-32-48x)+36=23(-33x-18)-10x~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

To find the value of x, we must bring all the terms involving x on one side of the equality.

The solution of equation (i) is as follows:

$78(-32-48x)+36=23(-33x-18)-10x\\\\\Rightarrow -2496-3744x+36=-759x-414-10x\\\\\Rightarrow -3744x-2460=-769x-414\\\\\Rightarrow -3744x+769x=-414+2460\\\\\Rightarrow -2975x=2046\\\\\Rightarrow x=-\dfrac{2046}{2975}\\\\\Rightarrow x=-0.69.$

Thus, the required solution is x = -0.69.
