1) Distribute 8(2x-14) + 13 = 4x - 27 then simplify like terms to get: 16x - 99 = 4x - 27.
2) Subtract 4x on both sides and at the same time add 99 to both sides to get: 12x=72.
3) Divide both sides by 12 to get x=6.
PART B: 6 makes the equation true because you just solved for it.
Answer:
Solutions are;
x = -8
x = -3.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to solve the given equation for x
|(x-4)/(x + 5)| = 4
From what we have, this is an absolute value equation and thus, we are going to have two solutions
These are;
x-4/x+ 5 = 4
x-4 = 4(x + 5)
x-4 = 4x + 20
x-4x = 20 + 4
-3x = 24
x = -24/3
x = -8
secondly;
x-4/x+5 = -4
x-4 = -4(x + 5)
x-4 = -4x - 20
x + 4x = -20 + 4
5x = -16
x = -16/5
x = -3.2
