Answer: -5.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
(4x + -28) = 9x
Reorder the terms:
(-28 + 4x) = 9x
Remove parenthesis around (-28 + 4x)
-28 + 4x = 9x
Solving
-28 + 4x = 9x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-9x' to each side of the equation.
-28 + 4x + -9x = 9x + -9x
Combine like terms: 4x + -9x = -5x
-28 + -5x = 9x + -9x
Combine like terms: 9x + -9x = 0
-28 + -5x = 0
Add '28' to each side of the equation.
-28 + 28 + -5x = 0 + 28
Combine like terms: -28 + 28 = 0
0 + -5x = 0 + 28
-5x = 0 + 28
Combine like terms: 0 + 28 = 28
-5x = 28
Divide each side by '-5'.
x = -5.6
Simplifying
x = -5.6
Answer:
0.004, 4%, 1/4, 4/9.
Explanation:
Given expression:
2x(x + 7)-(3x +1);
To distribute implies to spread a process equally in an expression. Often times, the distributive property is used for expressions inside parentheses;
2x(x + 7)-(3x +1)
Distribute 2x over the first parentheses;
the negative sign distributes over the second part
= (2x² + 14x) - 3x -1
= 2x² + 14x -3x -1
Add like terms;
= 2x² + 11x -1
This expression 2x² + 11x -1 is equal to the given one
