-(3x-2)=-4(x+1)-4
-3x+2=-4(x+1)-4
Use distributive property for -4(x+1)
-3x+2=-4x-4-4
-3x+2=-4x-8
Add 4x to each side
-3x+2+4x=-4x-8+4x
x+2=-8
Subtract 2 to each side
x+2-2=-8-2
x=-10
Check:
-(3x-2)=-4(x+1)-4
-(3×10-2)=-4(-10+1)-4
-(30-2)=-4(-9)-4
32=32, so x=-10. Hope it help!

David is going to install tiles on the floor of two rooms. One of the floors is 18 feet long by 12 feet wide. The other floor is

crimeas [40]

Dimension of one of the floors of one room that David wants to install tiles is 18feet long by 12 feet wide
Then
Area of the above room = 18 * 12 square feet
   = 216 square feet
Dimension of the floor of the other room that David wants to install tiles is 24 feet long and 16 feet wide
Then
Area of the other room = 24 * 16 square feet
   = 384 square feet
Then
The total square feet of the
rooms that David wants to install tiles = 216 + 384
   = 600 square feet
Cost of the tile that covers 1 square feet = $5
Cost of the 4 tiles that cover 4 square feet = $17
Then
Area that can be covered with 4 square feet of tiles = 600/4 square feet
      = 150 square feet
Minimum cost of covering
the two rooms that David wants to install tiles = 150 * 17 dollars
      = 2550 dollars
So the minimum cost of installing the tiles on the two floors of David's two rooms is $2550. I hope the procedure is simple enough for you to understand.

Http://prntscr.com/lkz30r What is the value of x? 28 20 36 17

ivolga24 [154]

This is a question that can be solved with Pythagorean Theorem since it is a right triangle. The longest side, 29, is the hypotenuse and the sides 21 and x are the legs. So, the Pythagorean Theorem states,

$c^{2}= a^{2}+ b^{2}$

Where,

c is the Hypotenuse, a and b are the legs. Putting the respective values gives us,

$(29)^{2}= (21)^{2} +x^{2} \\841=441+x^{2} \\400=x^{2} \\20=x$

So, 20 is the side length of x.
