Answer:

x = 1/9.

Explanation:

-4(2x - 5) – (7 – 3x) = 4(x + 3)

-8x + 20 - 7 + 3x = 4x + 12

-8x + 3x - 4x = 12 + 7 - 20

-9x = -1

x = 1/9.

Answer:

x=1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(2x-5) - (7-3x) = 4(x+3)

x=1/9

-4(2x-5) -(7-3x): -5x +13

4(x+3): 4x + 12

Subtract 13 from both sides

Simplify: -5x = 4x-1

Subtract 4x from both sides

Simplify -9x = -1

Divide both sides by -9

-9x/-9 = -1/-9

x=1/9

Arrange the following polynomial into descending order for x, then interpret the degree of the 2nd term.

igor_vitrenko [27]

For the answer to the question above, the power of "y" doesn't influence descending order for x even if it is higher than power of x.

Unordered polynomial is
7x3y3 + 4 - 11x5y2 - 3x2y

Polynomial in descending order looks like this
-11x5y2 + 7x3y3 - 3x2y + 4

Degree of the second term is 5 ( because of x5 )

URGENT 25 PTS IF ANSWERED PLEASE HELP

dangina [55]

Answer:

b. x= -6 or x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

|2x+ 4| = 8

The absolute value equation has 2 solutions, one positive and one negative

2x+4 = 8 2x+4 = -8

Subtract 4 from each side

2x+4-4 = 8-4 2x+4-4 = -8-4

2x = 4 2x = -12

2x/2 =4/2 2x/2 = -12/2

x =2 x = -6
