Answer: 8x+3x=12x+9
The number is -9.
Step-by-step explanation: Combine like terms.
11x=12x+9
Subtract 12x from the other side. 11x-12x= -1x
-1x+9
Divide by -1 to isolate x.
-1/-1 cancels out.
9/-1= -9
x=-9
Plug in -9 to check your answer if you want to double check.
The answer would be x ≠ 0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First start with the left side, doing distributive property
So... -2(x) = -2x and -2(5) = -10 Therefore on the left side you now have -2x -10
Next do the same on the right side
-2(x) = - 2x and -2(-2) = 4 so you have -2x + 4 + 5 and you add 4 and 5, leaving you with -2x + 9
Now that you have simplified both sides the problem now looks like this:
-2x - 10 = -2x + 9
Because you have equal terms on both sides (-2) those cancel out so you have -10 = 9
Just from looking at this we know that the statement is false because -1o does not equal 9

8. 3x-4>38
3x>38+4
3x>42
x>42/3
x>14
So the answer is A. x>14
9. It's A. Two less than four times a number is 12. Because 4x (four times) and also it says 2 less than 4 times a number...
