Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5(-2x -10) = 25(x + 1)

-10x - 50 = 25x + 25

by transposing

-10x - 25x = 25 + 50

-35x = 75

x = -75/35

or 2.142857..... in decimal

4 What is the solution to the inequality -3x-42>3 ?

What is the solution to the inequality -3x-42>3 ?

$\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}$

$- 3 x - 42 \gt 3$

Add 42 to both sides.

$-3x>3+42$

Add 3 and 42 to get 45.

$-3x>45$

Divide both sides by -3. As -3 is <0, the inequality direction has changed.

$x$

Divide 45 by -3 to get -15.

Answer:

45 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume task completed in total x hours

$\frac{x}{10} + \frac{3}{8} + \frac{3}{12} = 1 \\ 12x + 45 + 30 = 120 \\ 12x = 45 \\ x = \frac{15}{4} = 3 \frac{3}{4}$

So q will take 45 more minutes
