2 answers:

Subtract 6 from both sides so you have -4x=3x-42 then subtract 3x from both sides to get -7x=-42 lastly divide negative 7 from both sides to get x=6

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

-4x + 6 = 3x - 36

Step 2: Solve for x

Add 4x to both sides: 6 = 7x - 36
Add 36 to both sides: 42 = 7x
Divide both sides by 7: x = 6

Step 3: Check

Plug in x to verify it's a solution.

-4(6) + 6 = 3(6) - 36

-24 + 6 = 18 - 36

-18 = -18

Solve 5x-97>-34 or 2x+31<29

Komok [63]

I'll do both.

$5x-97>-34\Rightarrow x>\frac{-34+97}{5}=\frac{63}{5}=\boxed{12.6} \\\boxed{x\in(12.6, \infty)} \\ \\2x+31$

Reduce to the simplest form. -9/6 + (-3/5)

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

$-\frac{21}{10}$ or $-2.1$ (they're the same)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify: $-\frac{9}{6} + (-\frac{3}{5}) = -\frac{9}{6} - \frac{3}{5}$
Find a common denominator. The LCM of 6 and 5 is 30, so multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same thing: 6 × 5 = 30, -9 × 5 = -45, 5 × 6 = 30, 3 × 6 = 18
Write the new fractions: $-\frac{45}{30} - \frac{18}{30}$
Subtract: -45/30 - 18/30 = $-\frac{63}{30} = -\frac{21}{10}$

I hope this helps!
