Hey there!
2x + 2 = -4(x - 5)
2x + 2 = -4(x) - 4(-5)
2x + 2 = -4x + 20
ADD 4x to BOTH SIDES
2x + 2 + 4x = -4x + 20 + 4x
SIMPLIFY IT!
6x + 2 = 20
SUBTRACT 18 to BOTH SIDES
6x + 2 - 2 = 20 - 2
CANCEL out: 2 - 2 because it give you 0
KEEP: 20 - 2 because it help solve for the x-value
NEW EQUATION: 6x = 20 - 2
SIMPLIFY IT!
6x = 18
DIVIDE 6 to BOTH SIDES
6x/6 = 18/6
CANCEL out: 6/6 because it give you 1
KEE: 18/6 because it help solve for the x-value
NEW EQUATION: x = 18/6
SIMPLIFY IT!
x = 3
Therefore, your answer is: x = 3
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Answer:
there are only 4 whole numbers whose squares and cubes have the same number of digits.
Explanations:
let 0, 1, 2 and 4∈W (where W is a whole number), then
,
,
,
,
,
,
,
.
You can see from the above that only four whole numbers are there whose squares and cubes have the same number of digits
The answer is A,

. This is because when plugging in -2 for x, the expression will look like this:

. To make the exponent positive, you have to flip it into a fraction. Then it will be

. Lastly, you simplify the denominator into 81.
