Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

so in this equation we have 2 variables, and we must figure out what those variables mean:

y: "y" is the total amount of money joe has after subtracting his debt from it

x: "x" is the # of months as the cost of each month(30) is placed just before this variable

as y is the total amount of money joe has we need to substitute it for 230 to figure out how long it took for joe to recieve that much money

230=30x-250

480=30x

x=16

it took joe 16 months to get $230

5(x+4)= -2(-4-x)+3 <br> what is the answer?
lianna [129]

Answer:

x = -3

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

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

5(x + 4) = -2(-4 - x) + 3

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

  1. Distribute:                                   5x + 20 = 8 + 2x + 3
  2. Combine like terms:                   5x + 20 = 2x + 11
  3. Subtract 2x on both sides:        3x + 20 = 11
  4. Subtract 20 on both sides:        3x = -9
  5. Divide 3 on both sides:              x = -3

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

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

  1. Substitute:                    5(-3 + 4) = -2(-4 - -3) + 3
  2. Simplify:                        5(-3 + 4) = -2(-4 + 3) + 3
  3. Add:                              5(1) = -2(-1) + 3
  4. Multiply:                        5 = 2 + 3
  5. Add:                              5 = 5

Here we see that 5 does indeed equal 5. ∴ x = -3 is a solution of the equation.

And we have our final answer!
