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

Zina [86]

Answer:

The correct option is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the line AB divided into 7 equal parts.

It is given that point P partitions the directed line segment from A to B in 3:4. It means 3 parts are before P and 4 partes are after P.

It is given that point Q partitions the directed line segment from A to B in 4:3. It means 4 parts are before Q and 3 partes are after Q.

It is given that point R partitions the directed line segment from A to B in2:5. It means 2 parts are before R and 5 partes are after R.

It is given that point S partitions the directed line segment from A to B in 5:2. It means 5 parts are before S and 2 partes are after S.

From the below figure we can say that point S is closest to point B.

It is also written as

A

A

Therefore option 4 is correct.
