Answer:
I can see any expressions
Ok so first off you need to get rid of the clauses in the equation.
So 4.5 ( -4) becomes -18 and -2.5(3+28) becomes -77.5
-18 + 36 = 202 - 77.5
Now you are going to solve the equation.
18 = 122.5
Hope this helped ;),

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the equation

We want to solve for x, therefore we must isolate x on one side of the equation.
14 is being added to 3x. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 14 from both sides of the equation.



x is being multiplied by 3. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the equation by 3.



Let's check our solution. Plug 7 in for x and solve.




This checks out, so we know our solution, <u>x=7 </u>is correct.
(x-3)(x-5)=35
Multiply the brackets together
x*x-5*x-3*x-3*5
x^2-8x+15=35
Move +35 to the other side. Sign changes from +35 to -35
x^2-8x+15-35=35-35
x^2-8x-20=0
(x-10)(x+2)=0
x-10=0 x+2=0
Move -10 to the other side. Sign changes from -10 to +10
x-10+10=0+10 x+2-2=0-2
x=10 x=-2
Answer: x=10
