You have to keep order of operations in mind.
1. Take care of the parentheses; distribute.
-3+6x-3=-20-8x
Simplified: 6x-6=-20-8x
2. Isolate the x variable.
Add 8x to both sides and add 6 to both sides.
14x=-14
3. Solve for x.
Divide by 14 on both sides.
x=-1
Answer:
Where are the choices? The answer would be undefined.
Step-by-step explanation:
Linear because x moves up by 3 and y moves up by 7
Answer:
Daniel (now) is 3 years old, (2 years ago) is 1 year old.
Kevin (now) is 6 years old, (2 years ago) is 4 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Now:
-Kevin: k = d + 3
-Daniel: d
2 years ago:
-Kevin: k - 2 = 4(d - 2)
-Daniel: d - 2
We have the equation:
(k - 2) + 2 = k
4(d - 2) + 2 = d + 3
4d - 8 + 2 = d + 3
3d - 6 = 3
3d = 9
d = 3
k = d + 3 = 3 + 3 = 6
3 sets or it you could divide which would still give you 3
