Answer:
6 or -6
Step-by-step explanation:
- 65% of 40=26
- 4/5 of 40=32
- 32-26=6
- (or if you start with 26)
- 26-32=-6
0.4(2x+1/2) = 3[0.2x-2]-4
0.8x+0.2 = 0.6x-6-4 Distribute it out
0.8x+0.2 = 0.6x-10 Combine like terms
0.2x = -10.2 Subtract 0.6x and 0.2 from both sides
x = -51 Multiply both sides by 5
Answer:
Jordan made mistake in his first step while multiplying.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given expression of Jordan's work is
14(8+4x) = 6x-(5-11x)
In the first step, Jordan multiplied the numbers to remove the braces.
He multiplied 14(8+4x) wrong as 14*8 is 112 rather than 126and on the right hand side, he did not change the sign of 11x to positive as two negatives are positive when multiplied.
Hence,
Jordan made mistake in his first step while multiplying.
