Answer:

All real numbers are solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−3(m+8)=−3m−24

(−3)(m)+(−3)(8)=−3m+−24(Distribute)

−3m+−24=−3m+−24

−3m−24=−3m−24

Step 2: Add 3m to both sides.

−3m−24+3m=−3m−24+3m

−24=−24

Step 3: Add 24 to both sides.

−24+24=−24+24

0=0

pshichka [43]

Number of pages that the chapter has = 8
Number of pages of the chapter that Kosta read = (1/4) * 8
   = 1 * 2
   = 2
The number of pages of the chapter read by Christina = 3
Then
The total number of pages of the
chapter read by both of them = 2 + 3
      = 5
So the total number of pages of the chapter that has been read by Kosta and Christina is 5. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

Solve the equation 3/4x+3-2x = -1/4+1/2x+5

elena55 [62]

Hi there! The answer is x = -1

Let's solve this equation step by step!
$\frac{3}{4} x + 3 - 2x = - \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{2} x + 5$

First collect terms.
$- 1 \frac{1}{4} x + 3 = \frac{1}{2} x + 4 \frac{3}{4}$

Subtract (1/2)x from both sides.
$- 1\frac{3}{4} x + 3 = 4 \frac{3}{4}$

Subtract 3 from both sides.
$- 1\frac{3}{4} x = 1 \frac{3}{4}$

And finally divide by -1 3/4
$x = \frac{7}{4} \div - \frac{7}{4} = \frac{7}{4} \times - \frac{4}{7} = - \frac{28}{28} = - 1$
