Answer: x = -2, it could be they didnt follow the right order of mathematic operation (BODMAS)

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-5 = 2+3(x-3)

following the order of operation we must open the bracket first

4x - 5 = 2 + 3x - 9

4x - 5 = 3x - 7

we now collect like terms

4x - 3x = -7 + 5

x= -2

Now checking the answer in the original equation, we will just put -2 wherever x is.

4x - 5 = 2 + 3(x-3)

4(-2) - 5 = 2 + 3( -2 -3)

We will have to deal with the bracket first before we proceed;

-8-5 = 2 + 3(-5)

-13 = 2 - 15

-13 = -13

Answer:

The solution is x=-2

The mistake could be in operation however here is the all operation

Step-by-step explanation:

Getting each term and sum each one

4x-5=2+3(x-3)\\4x-5=2+3x-9\\4x-5=-7+3x\\4x-3x=-7+5\\x=-2

Check replacing in the original equation:

4(-2)-5=2+3(-2-3)\\-8-5=2-6-9\\-13=2-15\\-13=13

FOIL

first: x*x = x^2

Outer: -1x

inner: -1x

Last: -1*-1 = 1

Add these together

Step-by-step explanation:

It's hard to tell what you mean. I'm going to assume you mean that you want what is left to be 3/7 less.

1400 - 3/7 1400 = 1400 - 600 = 800

which ordered pairs in the form (x, y) are solutions to the equation 3x−4y=21 ? Select each correct answer. (−1, −6) (−3, 3) (11
Valentin [98]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which ordered pairs are solutions to the equation

Substitute the x and y values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are a solution.

(- 1, - 6)

3(- 1) - 4(- 6) = - 3 + 24 = 21 = right side ← thus a solution

(- 3, 3)

3(- 3) - 4(3) = - 9 - 12 = - 21 ≠ 21 ← not a solution

(11, 3)

3(11) - 4(3) = 33 - 12 = 21 = right side ← thus a solution

(7, 0)

3(7) - 4(0) = 21 - 0 = 21 = right side ← thus a solution

The ordered pairs (- 1, - 6), (11, 3), (7, 0) are solutions to the equation

Write -7.32 as a Fraction/Mixed Number In Simplest Form. Also Show Steps To How You Got To Your Answer.
Mamont248 [21]

To write 7.32 as a fraction you have to write 7.32 as numerator and put 1 as the denominator. Now you multiply numerator and denominator by 10 as long as you get in numerator the whole number.

7.32 = 7.32/1 = 73.2/10 = 732/100

And finally we have:  

7.32 as a fraction equals 732/100
