x= −29/4

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

−7(x+2)=−3(x−5)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−7(x+2)=−3(x−5)

(−7)(x)+(−7)(2)=(−3)(x)+(−3)(−5)(Distribute)

−7x+−14=−3x+15

−7x−14=−3x+15

Step 2: Add 3x to both sides.

−7x−14+3x=−3x+15+3x

−4x−14=15

Step 3: Add 14 to both sides.

−4x−14+14=15+14

−4x=29

Step 4: Divide both sides by -4.

−4x −4

x=29/−4

x= −29/4

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

<u>28.5 and 32.5</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>create an equation to solve:</em>

x + (x+4) =61

2x + 4 = 61 combine like terms

2x = 57 subtract 4 from both sides

x = 28.5 divide 2 from both sides

28.5 is the smaller number

the larger number is 4 more so:

28.5 + 4 = 32.5

32.5 is the larger number

check your work:

28.5 + 32.5 = 61
