To solve equations, you isolate the variable you are solving for on one side and everything else on the other side.
The first step to solving this equation is to combine like terms.
Combining like terms means to add up all terms that have the same variable(s) and exponent.
If no exponent is shown, then a 1 exponent is implied. The reason why we don't show a term raised to the first power is that it doesn't have any effect on the term.
I see three terms with the x variables. We can combine them. Why? Because they all have the same variable and exponent.
I'll rearrange the left-hand side to combine all the terms with the x variable.
Now we have -3 + 2x - 4x - 2x = -6
Combine all terms that have the x variable.
-3 + 2x - 4x - 2x = -6
-3 - 4x = -6
Now we have -3 - 4x = -6
What can we do now to isolate the x variable on the left-hand side?
For starters, we can add 3 to each side of the equation.
That way the -3 term will disappear.
-3 - 4x + 3 = -6 + 3
-4x = -3
Last step.
The x variable is being multiplied by the -4. If we reverse that operation
we can get the value of x.
-4x / -4 = 3 / -4
x = 3/-4 or x = -0.75

Step-by-step explanation:
Hello.
The Manager has concluded that 2 out of 25 light bulbs are faulty.The table he created represents the ratio of bulbs checked and which ones were found faulty.
A way that he could verify that the table is correct is by simplifying each ratio. If each of them turn out to 2:25, then the conclusion is correct.
The best answer that matches this is answer choice "C.)" as it also defines our method of verifying the table's validity (just the order of the ratio is reversed, and that's fine as long as the variables are matching as well). We can further prove that this answer is correct by making ratios of our table and simplifying them;
100:8; divide both sides by 4.
25:2
500:40; divide both sides by 20.
25:2
2,000:160; divide both sides by 80.
25:2
This ratio is always the simplified answer.
Your answer is: "C.)"
I hope this helps!
