I think it’s because they are opposite so Yh sos if it’s wrong
To solve for x, we will begin by using the distributive property
6x - 2(x + 4) = 12
6x - 2x - 8 = 12
(always remember to sort your negatives!)
Add like terms
4x - 8 = 12
Add 8 to both sides
4x = 20
Divide both sides by 4
x = 5
The answer is 3x-3. You have to distribute the 3 to both of the variables in the equations. The 1 in the parentheses is a negative and multiplying the 3 will result in a negative 3.
First we multiply the numbers ignoring the decimal and then place the decimal in the position
3.04 *7.091 = 2155664
Now the first number has two digits after the decimal and the second number has three digits after the decimal.
Therefore in the final result we have to move the decimal (2+3) =5 place from the left,
So the answer would be 21.55664
So, the correct answer is 21.55664
Jerry calculated the answer correctly , but made an error in the placement of the decimal point. The answer is not reasonable because 2.155664 and 21.55664 mean two completely different answer far apart from each other
