Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
After you simplify the left side by eliminating parentheses and collecting terms, you have a 2-step linear equation.
-3(4x +3) +4(6x +1) = 43 . . . . . . given
-12x -9 +24x +4 = 43 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
12x-5 = 43 . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms (now a 2-step equation)
12x = 48 . . . . . . . . . . step 1, add the opposite of the unwanted constant
x = 4 . . . . . . . . . . . step 2, divide by the coefficient of x
The solution is x = 4.

<em>Check</em>
-3(4·4 +3) +4(6·4 +1) = 43 . . . . substitute for x
-3(16 +3) +4(24 +1) = 43
-3(19) +4(25) = 43
-57 +100 = 43 . . . . . true
Answer:
10c + 1200 ≥ 3000, c≥ 180
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that they need at least $3000; meaning, it may be $3000 or more. This leaves us with eliminating the bottom two choices.
We then look at the first two choices. If we were to subtract from 1200, we would not know the total income amount that has been gained. It would also eventually give us negative numbers. We cannot have a negative amount earned. Instead, we would use the 10c+1200 because this would allow us to visualize that it needs to be greater than or equal to 3000
As shown in the model below, there are three lines.
