Answer:
Can you take picture, please?
You have to isolate x. First you start off by adding the like terms which is -3x and -x. By adding them you get -4x.
8 - 4x = 12
Then you subtract 8 on both sides since it is positive to isolate x.
-4x = 4
Then you divide -4 by both sides and get x=4/-4
4/-4 is simplified to -1 so the answer is x= -1
Answer:
X= 5
Explanation (Steps):
<u>Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.</u>
−3.4(x−2)=9.8−4x
(−3.4)(x)+(−3.4)(−2)=9.8+−4x(Distribute)
−3.4x+6.8=9.8+−4x
−3.4x+6.8=−4x+9.8
<u>Step 2: Add 4x to both sides.</u>
−3.4x+6.8+4x=−4x+9.8+4x
0.6x+6.8=9.8
<u>Step 3: Subtract 6.8 from both sides.</u>
0.6x+6.8−6.8=9.8−6.8
0.6x=3
<u>Step 4: Divide both sides by 0.6.</u>
0.6x0.6=3/0.6
x=5
If markdown is 25%,then 450.00 = 75%
450.00÷.75=600.00
600.00 is the highest amount of a couch you can spend to pay 450.00 before sales tax.
3/4 Of X(Capacity) = 18 Gallons
X = 18*4/3
= 6*4
= 24 Gallons
Capacity of Tank = 24Gallons
