Answer:

a x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x-4) = 4(2x + 1)

Distribute

2x-8 = 8x +4

Subtract 2x from each side

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

-8 = 6x+4

Subtract 4 from each side

-8-4 = 6x+4-4

-12 = 6x

Divide by 6

-12/6 = 6x/6

-2 =x

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer: The lendor will allow for $1500 for the housing expenses.

This lendor is allowing 30% for the debt. So, we start by multiplying 8000 times 0.3 which equals 2400.

However, we have to subtract the current debts of 900.
