First you need to distribute the -8
So you would get -8x-8 now distribute the 3 so it would be 3x-6
-8x-8+3x-6=-3+2 is how it should look
Now combine the -8x and 3x cause their like terms and also -8 and -6
-5x-14=-3x+2 now add -3 to both sides
-2x-14=2 and add 14 to both sides
-2x=12 all left to do is divide both by -2
X=-6

Solution of the equation<br> 3x/5+1=4x/15+7

Anika [276]

Answer:

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{3x}{5}$ + 1 = $\frac{4x}{15}$ + 7 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

$\frac{3x}{5}$ = $\frac{4x}{15}$ + 6

Multiply through by 15 to clear the fractions

9x = 4x + 90 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

5x = 90 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 18

Solve for all values of x in simplest form. 9-4|3+5x|=5

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

$x=-2/5\text{ or } x=-4/5$

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

$9-4|3+5x|=5$

First, subtract 9 from both sides:

$-4|3+5x|=-4$

Divide both sides by -4:

$|3+5x|=1$

Definition of Absolute Value:

$3+5x=1\text{ or } 3+5x=-1$

Subtract 3 from both sides:

$5x=-2\text{ or } 5x=-4$

Divide both sides by 5:

$x=-2/5\text{ or } x=-4/5$

And we're done!
