-2(x - 8) + 4x = -12

Mathematics

Deffense [45]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

4 x - 2 (x - 8) = -12

-2 (x - 8) = 16 - 2 x:

4 x + 16 - 2 x = -12

4 x - 2 x = 2 x:

2 x + 16 = -12

Subtract 16 from both sides:

2 x + (16 - 16) = -16 - 12

16 - 16 = 0:

2 x = -16 - 12

-16 - 12 = -28:

2 x = -28

Divide both sides of 2 x = -28 by 2:

(2 x)/2 = (-28)/2

2/2 = 1:

x = (-28)/2

The gcd of -28 and 2 is 2, so (-28)/2 = (2 (-14))/(2×1) = 2/2×-14 = -14:

Answer:  x = -14

timurjin [86]
To find a percentage of a number, multiply by the decimal form of that percentage(20%=0.20). So, take the cost, $430, and multiply by common state sales tax (7% for me)---430 x 0.07 = 30.10  The sale tax rate is 7%.

Will someone please help me with this because I don't understand and I don't want to fail my class.

Answer:

4y + 1 = 4 - 5y

First option

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 4y - 1 =0; add both sides by + 4y + 1

x - 4y - 1 + 4y + 1 = 0 +  4y + 1

Simplifying

x = 4y + 1

x + 5y - 4 = 0; Add (-5y + 4) to both sides

x + 5y - 4 -5y + 4 = 0 -5y + 4

Simplying

x = -5y +4

x = 4 - 5y

Now you have both equations

x = 4y + 1

x= 4 - 5y

Now you can use the comparison method

4y + 1 = 4 - 5y
