-2(x-4)=-16 SOLVE FOR X!!

Mathematics
1 answer:
Andrej [43]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = 12

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

-2(x - 4) = -16

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Distribute -2:                    -2x + 8 = -16
  2. Isolate <em>x</em> term:                  -2x = -24
  3. Isolate <em>x</em>:                           x = 12

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute:                    -2(12 - 4) = -16
  2. Subtract:                       -2(8) = -16
  3. Multiply:                        -16 = -16

Here we see that -16 does indeed equal -16.

∴ x = 12 is a solution of the equation.

Solve the equation 3x-2y =7, x+2y= -3​
swat32

Answer:

  • x=1
  • y= -2

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 3x-2y =7
  • x+2y= -3
  • 4x=4
  • x=4/4
  • x=1
  • 3x-2y=7
  • 3(1)-2y=7
  • 3-2y=7
  • -2y=7-3
  • -2y=4
  • 2y=-4
  • y=-4/2
  • y= -2
  • Verify solution
  • x+2y= -3
  • 1+2y= -3
  • 2y=-3-1
  • 2y= -4
  • y= -4/2
  • y= -2

“the product of 6 and<br> 9 decreased by 8"
Komok [63]

Answer:

46

Step-by-step explanation:

“the product of 6 and 9 decreased by 8"

“the product of 6 and 9" = 6 * 9

"decreased by 8" = - 8 (subtract 8 from whatever, in this case 6 * 9)

“the product of 6 and 9 decreased by 8" = 6 * 9 - 8 = 46
