Answer:
In the equation, it divides 21 by x before knowing what x is, and gets it incorrect. Instead, you need to divide 21 by -4.2.
Step-by-step explanation:
-4.2x = 21
-------------
-4.2
x = -5
Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
you divide each side by four to get a=2.5 b=2.5 and c=3
You have to start by using the distributive property. So you take the number next to the parentheses which is “8” and you multiply it with “2x”. This gives you “16x”. Then you multiply “8” with “3” and that gives you “24”. You now have the equation “16x + 24 = 48”.
The next step is to subtract “24” with “48”. This leaves you with “24”. Then you now have “16x = 24” as your new equation. The last step is to divide “16x” with “16”, this cancels it out with itself. Then you divide “24” with “16” and you get 1.5. So “X” equals 1.5 or you can convert it into a fraction witch gives you “3/4”.
