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

A game normally cost $53.00, but Isabel used a coupon and got the game for $37.10. The coupon was for what percent off.
Artist 52 [7]
We could use the numbers and the difference of the original cost - the end price in a equation.

53 × x/100 = 15.9

Cross multiply 100 × 15.9.

53x=1590

Divide both sides by 53.

x=30

The coupon was 30%
