Solve for x 4(1-x)+2x= -3(x+1)

Hey there! Welcome to Brainly! I'm happy to help you!

Let's quickly write our equation below.

4(1-x)+2x=-3(x+1)

To solve this, we want to get the x by itself on one side of the equation so we can see what it equals on the other side. First, we need to get it out of the parentheses. To do this, we will use the <em><u>distributive property </u></em>and multiply the number before the parentheses by both terms inside of it as seen below! :)

4(1)-4(x)+2x=-3(x)-3(1)

4-4x+2x=-3x-3

Now, we need to combine our like terms.

4-2x=-3x-3

Now, we want to get all of our constants (numbers without variables) onto the right side. First, we will subtract four from both sides.

-2x=-3x-7

Now, we will add 3x to both sides.

x= -7

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!

professor wrote the following inequalities for N number of students in his lecture. N &lt;10, N&gt;10, N&lt;22, N&gt;22. Turns o
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

There are N students in the class.

We know that ONLY ONE of the inequalities is true:

N < 10

N > 10

N < 22

N > 22

We want only one of these four inequalities to be true.

Remember that if we have:

x > y

y is not a solution, because:

y > y is false.

Then:

If we take N = 10, then:

N < 22

Is the only true option.

While if we take N = 22

N > 10

is the only true option.

So there are two possible values of N.

A certain number was multiplied by 7. 4 was taken away from the product. Finally, that difference was then divided by 9, resulti
marin [14]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we have to work backwards. If you divide something by 9, and it equals 5, to figure out the number, we need to multiply by 9. 5*9= 45. If four was taken away, we have to add it to 45, which is 49. If a number *7 is 49, then we have to divide by 7 to get the answer. 49/7=7

Find the Equation of x(2x+5)-3(2x+5)=0
Nata [24]
2x² + 5x -6x - 15 = 0

2x² - x - 15 = 0

2x² -x = 15

x = 3

3 x 3 = 9 x 2 = 18 - 3 = 15

i really don't know how i got 3 in the first place but that is your answer

hope this helps
