Answer:
x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify signs
3x + 7 = -2
Step 2: Subtract 7 on both sides
3x = -9
Step 3: Divide both sides by 3
x = -3
Answer : -4a+10
Substitute (a-3) for x
-4(a-3)-2
-4a+12-2
-4a+10 but can also be written as -2(2a-5)
Answer:
b^4 / a
Step-by-step explanation:
I have attached the explanation above. hopefully this will help
To solve for <em>x</em>, we must first isolate the term containing <em>x</em> which in this problem is 5x.
Since 10 is being added to 5x, we subtract 10 from both sides of the equation to isolate the 5x.
On the left, the +10 and -10 cancel out and on the right, 20 - 10 is 10 and we have 5x = 10.
Now we can finish things off by just dividing both sides of the equation by 5. On the left the 5's cancel and on the right, 10 divided by 5 is 2 so <em>x = 2</em>.
