Answer:
#1 s=-133/5
#3 a. b=-4
#3 b. x=23.45
#3 c. p=201
Step-by-step explanation:
#1 −5(s+30)=−17
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−5(s+30)=−17
(−5)(s)+(−5)(30)=−17(Distribute)
−5s+-150=−17
−5s−150=−17
Step 2: Add 150 to both sides.
−5s−150+150=−17+150
−5s=133
Step 3: Divide both sides by -5.
−5s−5=133/−5
s=−133/5
#3 a.
Step 1: Multiply both sides by 2
Step 2: Simplify
b-6=-10
Step 3: Add 6 to both sides
b-6+6=-10+6
Step 4: Simplify
b=-4
#3 b. 0.4t(x-0.45t)=9.2
Step 1: Divide both sides by 0.4
Step 2: Simplify
x-0.45=23
Step 3: Add 0.45 to both sides
x-0.45+0.45=23+0.45
Step 4: Simplify
x=23.45
#3 -4(p-212)=44
Step 1: Divide both sides by -4
Step 2: Simplify (there is way more to this step than I am putting)
p-212=-11
Step 3: Add 212 to both sides
p-212+212=-11+212
Step 3: Simplify
p=201
