- 8x - 9 = - 21
Add 9 to both sides:
- 8x = - 12
Divide both sides by - 8:
x = -12/-8
x = -3/-2
x = 3/2 OR 1.5
Hope this answer helps :)
Answer:
A factor, in mathematics, a number or algebraic expression that divides another number or expression evenly, with no remainder. A multiple of a number is any integer multiplied by the number. Try it yourself, now you know the how it works.
Answer:
-5 and -4
Step-by-step explanation:
It is far easier just to solve the equation than to determine appropriate integer bounds on the solution.
In the attachment, we show a couple of initial trials at solutions. The nearness of y=5 to being correct suggests that the next higher integer may be helpful, too. It is.
We find -4 and -5 to bracket the solution.
_____
The actual solution is (3.4 -1.3)/-0.5 = -4.2.
