Answer:

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

40−x=3x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

40−x=3x

40+−x=3x

−x+40=3x

Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.

−x+40−3x=3x−3x

−4x+40=0

Step 3: Subtract 40 from both sides.

−4x+40−40=0−40

−4x=−40

Step 4: Divide both sides by -4.

−4x

−4

=

−40

−4

x=10

Answer:

65

Step-by-step explanation:

let's place 9 in place of p and 4 in place of q. I will use a star in place of that symbol for the sake of my convenience having to look for it, apologies.

9 \star 4  = 9^2-4^2 = 81-16 = 65
