Answer:

x = - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 2(x + 5) = 4 ← distribute the parenthesis by - 2

- 2x - 10 = 4 ( add 10 to both sides )

- 2x = 14 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = - 7

P3.7 = 12.21 (p × 3.7 = 12.21)

p÷3.7 = 12.21÷3.7 (p÷3.7 cancels out p×3.7 and leaves you left with the equation p = 12.21÷3.7)

p=3.3

4x-8 = x-4 + 2x+5
4x - 8 = 3x + 1
4x - 3x = 1 + 8
x = 9
