-1(x + 2) = 2(3x - 6)

First, simplify 1 × (x + 2) to (x + 2) / Your problem should look like: -x - 2 = 2(3x - 6)
Second, expand. / Your problem should look like: -x - 2 = 6x - 12
Third, add x to both sides. / Your problem should look like: -2 = 6x - 12 + x
Fourth, simplify 6x - 12 + x to get 7x - 12. / Your problem should look like: -2 = 7x - 12
Fifth, add 12 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: -2 + 12 = 7x
Sixth, add -2 + 12 to get 10. / Your problem should look like: 10 = 7x
Seventh, divide both sides by 7. / Your problem should look like: \frac{10}{7}  = x
Eighth, switch your sides. / Your problem should look like: x =  \frac{10}{7}

Answer: x = \frac{10}{7}
Answer as decimal: 1.4286

-1(x+2)=2(3x-6)
-1(x+2)=2(3x-6)distributhing -1 through parantheses
-1x+(-1)*2=2(3x-6)
-x-2=2(3x-6) distributhing 2 through parantheses
-x-2=2*3x-2*6
-x-2=6x-2*6
-x-2=6x-12    add x 
-2=6x-12+x
-2=7x-12        add 12
-2+12=7x
10=7x       divide by 7  
x= \frac{10}{7}
Answer : x= 1 3/7

Trevor plans on buying a car. Four banks offer the annual interest rates shown.
mote1985 [20]

Solution

In order to find  greatest to least number, we have to convert the given fractions into decimals.

3 \frac{1}{10} % = 3 + 1/10 = 3 + 0.10 = 3.10%

3 \frac{2}{5}% = 3 + 2/5 = 3 + 0.40 = 3.40%

3 \frac{1}{4} %= 3 + 0.25 = 3.25%

3 \frac{1}{3}% = 3 + 0.33 = 3.33%

Now we can easily, compare the numbers and write from greatest to least.

3.40%, 3.33%, 3.25%, 3.10%

Greatest to least  = 3 2/5%, 3 1/3%3, 3 1/4%,  1/10%,

Thank you :)
