Answer:

It is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you plug 4 in for x, you get -2*4+5=13. This simplifies to: -8+5=13. This is an untrue statement since -8+5 is actually -3, not 13.

Hope this is helpful! :)

Answer:

undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

So with the following equation,

-2x + 5 = 13

we plug in 4 for x

-2(4) + 5 = 13

-2 * 4 = -8

-8 + 5 = 13

-8 + 5

-3 = 13

-3 is not 13 so it is undefined

Thus,

the answer is undefined.

Hope this helps :)

Question in the image below:

Answer:

x = 5/33 or 0.151515151

Step-by-step explanation:

7(-6x-2) = 8(3x-4)

step 1: simplify the equation.

-42x - 14 = 24x - 4

step 2: isolate the variable (using the balance method).

-42x - 14 + 14 = 24x - 4 + 14

-42x = 24x + 10

-42x - 24x = 24x - 24x + 10

-66x = 10

step 3: solve for x.

x = 10 ÷ -66

x = 5/33
