Answer:

all real numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

-(2x + 4) + x = 3x − 4x − 4

Distribute the negative sign on the left side. It is the same as having a -1 to the left of the parentheses.

-1(2x + 4) + x = 3x − 4x − 4

-2x - 4 + x = 3x - 4x - 4

Combine like terms on the left side. Combine like terms on the right side.

-x - 4 = -x - 4

Add 4 to both sides.

-x = -x

Add x to both sides.

0 = 0

You end up with a true equation. Therefore, there is an infinite number of solutions. Every real number is a solution.

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

The question is incomplete, the complete question is Angela makes a pillow in the shape of a wedge to use for watching TV. The pillow is filled with 12 ft³ of fluffy material. The base is 3 ft, the height is 2 ft, what is the length of the pillow?

The length of the pillow is 4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the volume of the wedge is $V=\frac{1}{2}bhl$ , where

b is the base of it
h is the height of it
l is the length of it

∵ The pillow in the shape of a wedge

∵ The pillow is filled with 12 ft³ of fluffy material

∴ The volume of the wedge = 12 ft³

∵ The base = 3 feet

∵ The height = 2 feet

- Use the formula of the volume above to find its length

∵ $V=\frac{1}{2}(2)(3)l$

∴ V = 3 l

∵ V = 12 ft³

- Equate 3 l by 12

∴ 3 l = 12

- Divide both sides by 3

∴ l = 4 feet

∴ The length of the pillow is 4 feet
