-(-5 - 6x) = 4 (5x +3)

Pretend that there is a -1 in front of the first bracket

-1(-5-6x)= 4(5x+3)

Mutiply the first bracket by -1

(-1)(-5)(-1)(-6x)= 5+6x

Mutiply the second bracket by 4

(4)(5x)(4)(3)= 20x+12

5+6x= 20x+12

move 20x to the other side

5+6x-20x= 20x-20x+12

5+6x-20x= 12

5-14x= 12

move 5 to the other side

sign changes from +5 to -5.

5-5-14x= 12-5

-14x=7

divide by -14

-14x/-14= 7/-14

x= -1/2

Answer: x= -1/2

4(x + 5) – 13x = 263 step by step .
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

x = -27

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x+5) - 13x = 263

Multiply

4x + 20 - 13x = 263

Subtract 20 from both sides

4x - 13x = 243

-9x = 243

Divide by 9 on both sides

x = -27

Hope this helps :)

Huang eats a salad for breakfact,a burger for lunch,then a saled for dinner.how many burger has Huang eaten if he had 71 salads
sweet [91]
35 because if you half the amount of salads he's eaten (seeing as he eats one burger for every two salads) then the extra one is the first salad in the cycle.
