9(30+7) = (9*30)+(9*7)
This is the distributive property
x(y+z) = xy + xz
Let the dash = x
9(30+7) = (9*x)+(9*7)
9(37) = 9x + 63
333 = 9x + 63
Substract 63 from both sides
333 - 63 = 9x +63-63
270 = 9x
Divide both sides by 9
270/9 = 9x/9
30 = x
Or x = 30
Answer:
x<1 or x>5
Step-by-step explanation:
2x -3< -1 or -3x < -15
Solve them separately then put them back together
2x-3 < -1
Add 3 to each side
2x-3+3<-1+3
2x<2
Divide by 2
2x/2 <2/2
x<1
-3x < -15
Divide each side by -3, remembering to flip the inequality
-3x/3 > -15/-3
x>5
Put them back together
x<1 or x>5
