Stereotype. A brown hen can, and will lay brown or white eggs. It is because she simply ran out of color for the brown egg.<span />
Answer/explanation
4(3x+5)=-4
You will distribute the four to every term in the parenthesis,
12x+20=-4
Then you will combine like terms
12x+20=-4
-20 -20
12x=-24
Then you will divide 12 to isolate x

Obviously, -24 cancels out and you would get x=-2
I havent done this kind of math in a long time so i might be a little rusty
18 percent
= 18/100 = 0.18 Use your calculator.
So that is it as a decimal.
On the left side, distribute the 2 to x and -3 so the left side should look like 5x+2x-6.
on the right, distribute the -2 to x and -1 so the right side should look like -2x+2.
combine like terms on the left to get 7x-6=-2x+2
add -2x from the right side to the left side to make the equation 9x-6=2 now it's a two step equation.
add 6 to 2 to get 9x=8. divide by 9 and x=8/9.
