3(x-1)-8=4(1+x)+5  

One solution was found :

                  x = -20

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    3*(x-1)-8-(4*(1+x)+5)=0  

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

 ((3•(x-1))-8)-(4•(x+1)+5)  = 0  

Step  2  :

Equation at the end of step  2  :

 (3 • (x - 1) -  8) -  (4x + 9)  = 0  

Step  3  :

Step  4  :

Pulling out like terms :

4.1     Pull out like factors :

  -x - 20  =   -1 • (x + 20)  

Equation at the end of step  4  :

 -x - 20  = 0  

Step  5  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

5.1      Solve  :    -x-20 = 0  

Add  20  to both sides of the equation :  

                     -x = 20

Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) :  x = -20

One solution was found :

                  x = -20

hope this is wht u wanted

Four friends equally share the cost of their dinner that was $64 plus a 20% tip. If each person contributes $19, will that be en
Ulleksa [173]

If the dinner altogether costs £64, and there is a 20% tip, that brings the total amount paid to £76.80, and if four people are paying £19 towards the total, then there would not be enough for them to pay for both the meal and the tip, as 19x4 is 76, and the total is £76.80, meaning you need another 80 Pence.

Answer: No, as there is 80 pence off the total amount with all of there money added together which they would need to pay for the meal and the tip.

Hope this helps! Xo
