Umm just do the problem with 7 in the place of N
Answer:
The missing term is 3x
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
-(x - 1) + 5 = 2(x + 3) - _
Required
Find _
For proper identification of the parameters, represent _ with Z
So, the equation becomes
-(x - 1) + 5 = 2(x + 3) - Z
Open bracket (start from the left hand side)
-x + 1 + 5 = 2(x + 3) - Z
-x + 1 + 5 = 2x + 6 - Z
Solve like terms
-x + 6 = 2x + 6 - Z
Subtract 6 from both sides
-x + 6 - 6 = 2x + 6 - 6 - Z
-x = 2x - Z
Subtract 2x from both sides
-x - 2x = 2x - 2x - Z
-3x = -Z
Multiply both sides by -1
-3x * -1 = -Z * -1
3x = Z
Reorder
Z = 3x
Hence, the missing term is 3x
Start off by distributing the numbers into the parentheses:
5(-3x - 2) - (x - 3) = -4(4x + 5) + 13
-15x - 10 - (x - 3) = -16x - 20 + 13
(Note: It's super important to be careful when opening up negative parentheses! -(x-3) is not just - x - 3, it is actually -x + 3 since the negative is distributed in every number!)
-15x - 10 - x + 3 = -16x - 20 + 13
-16x - 7 = -16x - 7
-16x = -16x
0 = 0
There is an infinite number of solutions in this equation.
(When you get 0=0 when solving for a variable, that means that said variable will have infinite solutions, that is, any number plugged into the equation will work)
