-(x+3) = 2x-6 what is x

Mathematics
1 answer:
Makovka662 [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

So, first you make sure to multiply the parenthesis by the negative so then it would be,

-x-3=2x-6

Then you add the -3 from the right to the other side

so, -x=2x-3

Then you want all the X variables to one side so you subtract the 2x to both sides.

so, -3x=-3

divide both by -3

x=1

How many solutions are there to the equation below? |x| = -31​
ella [17]

Break down the problem into these two equations;

x = -31

-x = -31

Solve for the 1st equation; x = -31

x = -31

Solve for the 2nd equation; -x = -31

x = 31

Collect all solutions

x = ±31

Check the solution

When x = -31, the original equation; |x| = -31 does not hold true. Thus, we will drop x = -31 from the solution set.

Check the solution again;

When x = 31, the original equation |x| = -31 does not hold true as well. Thus we will drop x = 31 from the solution set.

Therefore,

<u>No solution exists to this equation. </u>

Which expression is equivalent to 6m+(m-2)(m+7)+3
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

m^{2} + 11m - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

6m+(m-2)(m+7)+3  =   6m   +  [ m*m - 14 -2m + 7m]  + 3

=  6m  + mm - 14 + 5m  + 3

=  mm + 11m - 11

6m+(m-2)(m+7)+3   = m^{2} + 11m - 11

Fiona and Camilla took a load of peaches to the farmer’s market. During the first hour, they sold ½ of the peaches plus ½ of a p
Lana71 [14]
<em>They took 101 peaches to market.</em>

<u>Check:</u>

In the 1st hour, they sold (101/2 + 1/2) = 102/2 = 51.  They had 50 left.

In the 2nd hour, they sold (50/3 + 1/3)=51/3=17.  They had (50-17)=33 left.

In the 3rd hour, they sold (33/4 + 3/4) = 36/4 = 9.  They had (33-9) = 24 left.

In the final hour, they sold (24/5 + 1/5) = 25/5 = 5.  They had (24-5) = 19 left.  yay!

Fiona and Camilla took their 19 remaining peaches and went home.  Sharing with
their parents and their brother Rowlf, each person had 3.8 peaches for dinner.
There was a lot of activity in the bathroom overnight.

================================================

The key to solving this one is to work it backwards.

-- They had 19 peaches left at the end of the day.

-- During the final hour, the 1/5 of a peach that they sold left them with 19,
so they had 19-1/5 before they sold the 1/5 of a peach.
The 19-1/5 was 4/5 of what they had at the beginning of the final hour.
So, at the beginning of the final hour, they had (5/4)x(19.2) = 24 .

-- During the 3rd hour, the 3/4 of a peach that they sold left them with 24,
so they had 24-3/4 before they sold the 3/4 of a peach.
The 24-3/4 was 3/4 of what they had at the beginning of that hour.
So, at the beginning of the 3rd hour, they had (4/3)x(24.75) = 33 .

Do the same for the 2nd hour.

Then do the same for the 1st hour.

And you'll work your way back up to 101 peaches.
