Hi!
Our goal is to isolate x on one side by doing the same operation on both sides.
First let's use the distribution property.
-2 x 6 = -12
-2 x 3 = -6
-12x - 6 = -27 - 5x
Add 6 to both sides
-12x - 6 + 6 = -27 + 6 - 5x
-12x = -21 - 5x
Add 5x to both sides
-12x + 5x = -21 - 5x + 5x
-7x = -21
Divide by -7 on both sides
-7x/-7 = -21/-7
x = 3
The answer is x = 3
Hope this helps! :)
4(x + 3) = 6 - x
First, expand to remove parentheses.
Second, subtract '6' from both sides.
Third, subtract '12 - 6' to get 6.
Fourth, subtract '4x' from both sides.
Fifth, since 'x' can be referred to as '1', add it to '4x' to get '-5x'.
Sixth, divide both sides by '-5'.
Seventh, change the whole fraction into a negative.
Eighth, switch your sides.

Answer as fraction:

Answer:
4.1 sec
Step-by-step explanation:
h(t)=-3.2t^2+12.8t+1
h(t)=-3.2(t^2-4t)+1
h(t)=-3.2(t^2-4t+4-4)+1
h(t)=13.8-3.2(t-2)^2
For the ball to touch ground, h(t)=0.
13.8-3.2(t-2)^2=0
(t-2)=2.0766
t=4.07≈4.1 sec.
