Answer:

3·(x - 14) + 1 = - 4·x + 5

3·x - 42 + 1 = - 4·x + 5

3·x - 41 = - 4·x + 5

7·x - 41 = 5

7·x = 46

x = 46/7

The answer is 46/7.

First you distribute. So it would be 3x-42. Now add the 1 to the 42. your equation should look like 3x-43=-4x+5. Now add 4x to both sides. 7x-43=5. Now add -43 to both sides. Which is -37. Once you divide (don't ask about the division lol) you should get 46/7.

ANSWER: 24 people

All you have to do is multiply 25 and 6 to get 150. Then minus 150 from 385 to get 235. Then divide 235 by 10 to get 23.5, since you can not have half a person the answer is to round up to 24.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 12x + 4. If the width is 2x,<br> the length of the rectangle is

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

4x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2(width) + 2(length). So 12x+4 = 2(2x) + 2(length) .

12x+4 = 4x + 2(length) then subtract 4x from both sides to get 8x+4 = 2(length). In order to get length by itself you need to divide both side by 2.

4x+2 = length. Hope this helps!
