-5 (1-5x) +5 (-8x-2)=-4x-8x need a worked out answer for x plz help me
1 answer:
The work inside parentheses cannot be carried out as shown, so the next approach to consider is multiplying the expressions inside the parentheses by -5 and 5 respectively:
-5 + 25x - 40x - 10 = -4x - 8x (Are you sure it's really "-4x - 8x"?)
Combining the x-terms:
-5 - 15x - 10 = -12x
Combining all like terms: -15 = 3x, so that x = -5 (answer)

Step-by-step explanation:
Since there are 3 more girls than boys, 35-3=32
32/2=16
Now add back the 3
16+3=19
The answer is 17/5. First you multiply 5*3=15 then you add 2 which your answer is 17/5.
