Answer:
x=−6
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms and use the properties of equality to get the variable on one side of the equal sign and the numbers on the other side. Remember to follow the order of operations.
∣x+2∣−5=−1
Add 5 to both sides of the equation.
∣x+2∣=4
Use the definition of absolute value.
x+2=4
x+2=−4
Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.
x=2
x=−6
<u>Answer:</u>
c= -1/2
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
4
/3 = −6c −
5/
3
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
4
/3 =−6c + −5
/3
Step 2: Flip the equation.
−6c + −5
/3 = 4/3
Step 3: Add 5/3 to both sides.
−6c + −5
/3 + 5
/3 = 4/3 + 5
/3 −6c
=3
Step 4: Divide both sides by -6.
−6c −6 = 3
− 6
c = −1
/2
2/5(x - 4) = 2x
2/5x - 8/5 = 2x....multiply everything by 5
2x - 8 = 10x
-8 = 10x - 2x
-8 = 8x
-8/8 = x
-1 = x <===
Answer:
x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 2(x - 4) = 5x + x - 10
First, we need to to multiply out the parathesis in the equation:
5x + 2(x - 4) = 5x + x - 10
5x + 2x - 8 = 5x + x - 10
Next, we can combine "like terms" to simplify the equation further:
5x + 2x - 8 = 5x + x - 10
7x - 8 = 6x - 10
Now we can isolate the variable "x" to one side:
7x - 8 = 6x - 10
x - 8 = -10
x = -2
To check our work, we can replace x with -2 in our original equation:
5x + 2(x - 4) = 5x + x - 10
5(-2) + 2 (-2 - 4) = 5(-2) + -2 - 10
-10 + 2 (-6) = -10 -2 - 10
-22 = -22
I hope this helps!
