-8(x + 1) + 3(x - 2) = -3x + 2?

1 answer:

8 0

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

What is the value of x when -3x + 7x = -12?

Natalka [10]

-3 + 7x = -12

First, simplify -3x + 7x to get 4x. / Your problem should look like: 4x = -12
Second, divide both sides by 4. / Your problem should look like: x = $- \frac{12}{4}$
Third, simplify $\frac{12}{4}$ to 3. / Your problem should look like: x = -3

Answer: x = -3
