-3(x + 5) = -9
-3x + -15 = -9
-3x - 15 = -9
-3x - 15 + 15 = -9 + 15 (we added 15 to both sides of the equation because now, the 15 on the left side cancels out).
-3x = 6
-3x/-3 = 6/-3
X = -2
So, in conclusion, X is equal to -2.

- What is the solution to the inequality -3x-42>3 ?


Add 42 to both sides.

Add 3 and 42 to get 45.

Divide both sides by -3. As -3 is <0, the inequality direction has changed.

Divide 45 by -3 to get -15.

Answer:
0.631
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The area of the path would be 231.25 squared meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the path as 45m (the field's area), then add 2.5m to all of the sides. You'll get 47.5m on all sides. Then you do 47.5² to get 2256.25 squared meters. After that, you'll remove the area of the squared field. To do this, do 45m². By doing this, you'll get 2025 squared meters. Lastly, to finish up the question, do 2256.25 - 2025. This would get you 31.25 squared meters, the answer.
