-5 * (3x - 4) + 4= 114

-15x +20 + 4 = 114

-15x = 114 - 24

-15x = 90

x = 90 : (-15)

x = -6

Subtract 4 from both sides:

$-5(3x - 4) = 110$

There is a coefficient for the term in parentheses: -5. To get rid of this coefficient, divide both sides by -5:

$3x - 4 = -22$

Add 4 to both sides:

$3x = -18$

Divide both sides by 3 to get x by itself:

$\boxed{x = -6}$

If f(x)=-4x^2-6x-1 and g(x)=-x^2-5x+3, fine (f-g)(x)

NeX [460]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{(f-g)(x)=-3x^2-x-4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(f-g)(x)=f(x)-g(x)$

$f(x)=-4x^2-6x-1,\ g(x)=-x^2-5x+3\\\\(f-g)(x)=(-4x^2-6x-1)-(-x^2-5x+3)\\\\(f-g)(x)=-4x^2-6x-1-(-x^2)-(-5x)-3\\\\(f-g)(x)=-4x^2-6x-1+x^2+5x-3\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\(f-g)(x)=(-4x^2+x^2)+(-6x+5x)+(-1-3)\\\\(f-g)(x)=-3x^2-x-4$

14-3(5t-12)=1-(20t+1)<br> How am I supposed to do this?

Nuetrik [128]

Expand by multiplying out:

14-15t + 36 = 1 -20t -1,
Because of the minus before the bracket, it changes the sign inside the bracket
-15t + 20t = 1-1-14-36 Rearranging the ts on one side and the numbers on other
side.
5t = -50 Divide both sides by 5.
t = -50/5
t = -10.

Graph the solution to this inequality on the number line.

gladu [14]

Answer: x>8
Subtract 8 from both sides -6x< -48 (40 is a negative so -8 will just add to it)
Divide -48 and -6
X< 8 (since they’re both negative it’ll turn into a positive because we divided)
Turn the <
X>8
