8 x - 4 (5 - x) = -44
mutiply the bracket by -4
(-4)(5) = -20
(-4)(-x)= 4x
8x-20+4x= -44
8x+4x-20= -44 ( combine like terms )
12x-20= -44
move -20 to the other side
sign changes from -20 to +20
12x-20+20= -44+20
12x= -44+20
12x= -24
divide both sides by 12
12x/12= -24/12
Answer: x= -2
This is how the first one would be done. sorry if it’s a little messy the answer is 9. but try using photomath for the rest. it gives you the answer and explains how to do it
To decrease something at 100% by 7% is:
100% - 7% = 93%
You multiply the original value by 0.93 to decrease it from it's original value by 7%
A) x - 7 > 3 |add 7 to both sides
x > 10
b) x - 7 > 3 |add 7 to both sides
x > 10
1.99/32=0.06 an oz
3.69/64=0.05 an oz
5.85/96=0.06 an oz
therefore it is 64 oz
