3(4x+2) - 6x = 5x - 5(2 + x)
3·4x+3·2-6x=5x-5·2-5·x
12x+6-6x=5x-10-5x
12x-6x-5x+5x= -10-6
6x=-16
x=- \frac{16}{6}  \\ x=- \frac{8}{3}  \\ x=-2 \frac{2}{3}

3(4x + 2) - 6x = 5x - 5(2 + x)

First, expand the equation. / Your problem should look like: 12x + 6 - 6x = 5x - 10 - 5x
Second, simplify 12x + 6 - 6x to 6x + 6. / Your problem should look like: 6x + 6 = 5x - 10 - 5x
Third, simplify 5x - 10 - 5x to -10. / Your problem should look like: 6x + 6 = -10
Fourth, subtract 6 from both sides. / Your problem should look like: 6x = -10 - 6
Fifth, simplify -10 - 6 to -16. / Your problem should look like: 6x = -16
Sixth, divide both sides by 6. / Your problem should look like: x = -\frac{16}{6}
Seventh, simplify \frac{16}{6} to \frac{8}{3} / Your problem should look like: x = - \frac{8}{3}

Answer: x = - \frac{8}{3}

Each of 8 students reported the number of movies they saw in the past year. This is what they reported: 5, 4, 18, 19, 12, 20, 12
djyliett [7]
Mean is just the average of all of them
So... 5 + 4 + 18 + 19 + 12 + 20 + 12 + 12 = 102
Then you divide that number by the amount of numbers you have so 102 / 8 = 12.75 or rounding it up to 13

For median you have to first put them in order from smallest to largest.
So 4 5 12 12 12 18 19 20
Then you have to find the middle number between them but in this case we have two... 12 and 12. Since they're the same number, the median is 12.

How do I solve 14=-(p-8)
irina1246 [14]
14 = -(p-8)

Step 1 : Distribute the negative sign. This is equivalent to multiplying each term in the parenthesis by -1.
14 = -p+8

Step 2: Subtract 8 from each side to isolate the -p.
14 - 8 = -p +8 - 8
6 = -p

Step 3: Multiply everything by -1 to get what p is equivalent to.
6 * -1 = -p * -1
-6 = p
Which can be rewritten as
p = -6
