Your first goal is to get all the X’s to one side of the equation.

So:

3x - 5 = 9x + 8 - 5x

+5x +5x

8x - 5 = 9x + 8

-9x -9x

-1x - 5 = 8

Now that you have all the X variables simplified and on one side, you make sure all of you constant terms are on the other side.

-1x - 5 = 8

+5 +5

-1x = 13

Because you can’t have a negative X, you divide the entire equation by -1.

<u>-1x = 13</u>

-1

x = -13

Dividing by -1 will give you the inverse of the equation which is <u>positive</u> one x equals <u>negative</u> thirteen.

Is 0/0x7y³ a positive or negative number
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

A =  0/(0 x 7y³)

Let's see the denominator:  0 x 7y³ = 0

=> Whenever the denominator is 0, A is undefined, neither a positive number or negative number

Hope this helps!

1) 2 (x+3) +3 (5-x)=
Ugo [173]

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 2 (x+3) +3 (5-x)=

Simplifying

2(x + 3) + 3(5 + -1x) = 0

Reorder the terms:

2(3 + x) + 3(5 + -1x) = 0

(3 * 2 + x * 2) + 3(5 + -1x) = 0

(6 + 2x) + 3(5 + -1x) = 0

6 + 2x + (5 * 3 + -1x * 3) = 0

6 + 2x + (15 + -3x) = 0

Reorder the terms:

6 + 15 + 2x + -3x = 0

Combine like terms: 6 + 15 = 21

21 + 2x + -3x = 0

Combine like terms: 2x + -3x = -1x

21 + -1x = 0

Solving

21 + -1x = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-21' to each side of the equation.

21 + -21 + -1x = 0 + -21

Combine like terms: 21 + -21 = 0

0 + -1x = 0 + -21

-1x = 0 + -21

Combine like terms: 0 + -21 = -21

-1x = -21

Divide each side by '-1'.

x = 21

Simplifying

x = 21

2.  3 (y+2) -4y=-24y

Simplifying

3(y + 2) + -4y = -24y

Reorder the terms:

3(2 + y) + -4y = -24y

(2 * 3 + y * 3) + -4y = -24y

(6 + 3y) + -4y = -24y

Combine like terms: 3y + -4y = -1y

6 + -1y = -24y

Solving

6 + -1y = -24y

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '24y' to each side of the equation.

6 + -1y + 24y = -24y + 24y

Combine like terms: -1y + 24y = 23y

6 + 23y = -24y + 24y

Combine like terms: -24y + 24y = 0

6 + 23y = 0

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.

6 + -6 + 23y = 0 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0

0 + 23y = 0 + -6

23y = 0 + -6

Combine like terms: 0 + -6 = -6

23y = -6

Divide each side by '23'.

y = -0.2608695652

Simplifying

y = -0.2608695652

3.  -(x+2) -2(1-x)=

Simplifying

-1(x + 2) + -2(1 + -1x) = 0

Reorder the terms:

-1(2 + x) + -2(1 + -1x) = 0

(2 * -1 + x * -1) + -2(1 + -1x) = 0

(-2 + -1x) + -2(1 + -1x) = 0

-2 + -1x + (1 * -2 + -1x * -2) = 0

-2 + -1x + (-2 + 2x) = 0

Reorder the terms:

-2 + -2 + -1x + 2x = 0

Combine like terms: -2 + -2 = -4

-4 + -1x + 2x = 0

Combine like terms: -1x + 2x = 1x

-4 + 1x = 0

Solving

-4 + 1x = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '4' to each side of the equation.

-4 + 4 + 1x = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0

0 + 1x = 0 + 4

1x = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4

1x = 4

Divide each side by '1'.

x = 4

Simplifying

x = 4
