Subtract 6 from both sides ( subtract 6 form 6 to get 0 then subtract 6 form -4 to get 2) that’s the first step
The answer you are looking for is x=-2.
Solution/Explanation:
Writing out the equation
3[-x+(2x+1)]=x-1
Simplifying inside of the brackets first
Combining like terms, since -x+2x=x
3(x+1)=x-1
*You can remove the parenthesis, if preferred.
Using the Distributive Property on the left side of the equation
3x+3=x-1
Now, subtracting the "x" variable from both sides
3x+3-x=x-x-1
"x-x" cancels out to 0.
3x+3-x=-1
Combining like terms and simplifying
3x-x+3=-1
2x+3=-1
Subtracting 3 from both sides of the equation
2x+3-3=-1-3
"3-3" cancels out to zero.
2x+0=-1-3
2x=-1-3
Simplifying the right side of the equation
2x=-4
Finally, dividing both sides by 2
2x/2=-4/2
Simplifying the final part of the problem
Since 2x/2=x and -4/2=-2
x=-2
So, therefore, the final answer is x=-2.
Hope that this has helped you. Good day to you.
F(x) = -1.50x + 40.....basically, this is saying that Gloria has 40 bucks in her lunch account and each meal costs her 1.50.
By changing the -1.50 to -2.75 means she is paying more for her meals...the cost of a meal went up from 1.50 to 2.75.
