4(x+2)=3(x-2)
Multiply the first bracket by 4
Multiply the second bracket by 3
4x+8=3x-6
Move 3x to the left hand side, whenever moving a number with a letter the sign changes ( positive 3x to negative 3x)
4x-3x+8=3x-3x-6
x+8=-6
Move positive 8 to the right hand side
x+8-8=-6-8
x=-14
Check answer by using substitution method
Use x=-14 into both of the equations
4(-14+2)=3(-14-2)
-56+8=-42-6
-48=-48
Answer is -14- D)
2x = Twice your age
200 = Two hundred less
> -1 = more than negative
With the information given, your equation would be:
200-2x>-1
Gradient of line,m=(17-6)/(20-0)=11/20
finding equation of line using a point (20,17)
y-17=11/20(x-20)
y-17=(11/20x)-11
y=11/20x+(17-11)
y=(11/20)*x+6
That statement would be best express by " x + 25 < 75 ". Since the statement says the sum of x and 25, thus, it will be x + 25. Then it also states that the sum is less than 75, so the best expression would be " < 75".
