The correct way to solve this equation would be:
7=5+3(x-4)
Distribute the Brackets.
3*x=3x
3*4=12
7=5+3x-12
Add like terms.
7=-7+3x
Add 7 to both sides.
(7)+7=(-7+3x)+7
14=3x
Divide both sides by 3.
(14)/3=(3x)/3
4.6667 or 14/3 =x

Both answers are incorrect.
Some the significant mistakes:
-Didn't follow BEDMAS
-How did 7=8(x-4) turn into 78=x-4?

Hope this helps.

3x^2+48=0, solve the equation
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

16 + x2 = 0     (16)

I THINK

Step-by-step explanation: Simplifying

3x2 + 48 = 0

Reorder the terms:

48 + 3x2 = 0

Solving

48 + 3x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-48' to each side of the equation.

48 + -48 + 3x2 = 0 + -48

Combine like terms: 48 + -48 = 0

0 + 3x2 = 0 + -48

3x2 = 0 + -48

Combine like terms: 0 + -48 = -48

3x2 = -48

Divide each side by '3'.

x2 = -16

Simplifying

x2 = -16

Reorder the terms:

16 + x2 = -16 + 16

Combine like terms: -16 + 16 = 0

16 + x2 = 0

The solution to this equation could not be determined.

pishuonlain [190]
The formula is
YC x YD = AY x YB

fill in what we know:

18 x 6 = 9 x YB

108 = 9 x YB

YB = 108 / 9

YB = 12
