Solution:

I'm not sure if there is law for it or not, but you can replace each x to -2 if both sides are equal then the equation is true.

$7x - 4 = 6x + 5\\7(-2) - 4 = 6(-2) + 5\\-14-4=-12+5\\-18\neq -7$

A. is incorrect.

$4x + 3 = 8x - 5\\4(-2) + 3 = 8(-2) - 5\\-8+3=-16-5\\-5\neq -21$

B. is incorrect.

$6x + 4 = 3x + 10\\6(-2) + 4 = 3(-2) + 10\\-12+4=-6+10\\-8\neq 4$

C. is incorrect.

$-5x - 3 = -7(x +1)\\-5(-2) - 3 = -7((-2) +1)\\10-3 =-7(-1)\\7=7$

D. is correct.

Answer:

D. $-5x-3=-7(x+1)$

DochEvi [55]

First compute the perimeter of the first two windows: (3.4+5.2)*2=17.2
The perimeter of the four other windows: (3.6+4.8)*2=16.8
The total number of feet needed for the first two windows:
17.2*2 = 34.4 feet
The total number of feet needed for the four windows:
16.8*4 = 67.2 feet

The total number of feet needed is then: 34.4 + 67.2 = 101.6 feet.
