You look at the triangle...
The sides there are four
The base is the bottom
...
4x+2=-2
4x=-2-2
4x=-4
x=-4/4
x=-1
X=number looked for
we have this equation:
-52(x-14)=x+3
we solve this equation:
-52x+728=x+3
-52x-x=3-728
-53x=-725
x=-725/-53=725/53 ≈13,68
Solution: 725/53
To check:
the difference between 725/53 and 14=725/53 - 14=(725-742)/53=-17/53
-52 times the diference is= -52(-17/53)=884/53
The number plus 3=725/53 + 3=(725+159)/53=884/53
Answer:
The second one and the fourth one :)
