Answer:

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

−3(x + 3) = −3(x + 1) − 5.

Distribute

-3x-9 = -3x-3-5

Combine like terms

-3x-9  =-3x-8

Add 3x to each side

-3x-9+3x = -3x-8+3x

-9 = -8

This is never true so there is no solution

Answer:

x=-7/9

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation we would consider the bracket first according to BODMAS rule

B ..... Bracket open

O........ Of

D,............. Division

M............. Multiplication

A.............. Addition

S............. Subtraction

So, from the question

-3( x +3) = 3(x+1)-5

-3x -9 = 3x + 3 - 5

Collecting like terms

-3x -3x = 3-5+9

-9x= 7

Dividing both sides by -9

-9x/-9= 7/-9

x=-7/9

The hypotenuse can be solved by this formula. X^2 = 6^2 +6^2

X^2=64
Usually you cut it down to 8 but it wants the squared form so 64.

Which expression is not equal to the number 0? Group of answer choices 5 - 5 -8 - (-8) 6 - (-6) -7 + 7

6 - (-6)
This is because two negatives make a positive, so you’ll be adding 6+6 which equals to 12 not 0
