M = -8
-15 minus -7 equals -8
The answer that you have is most likely right, since the grouping did not change.
Answer:
6x - 4 = 32. The variable (times a number) is equal to 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
So this equation is basically asking you to formulate an equation using only the words given. For this equation, let's use a variable in place of the part where it says "times a number." When a question says that phrase, that means that they are telling you to use a variable in place of a mystery number. A variable is a letter in place of a mystery number. Knowing this, let's now solve the equation. We will use the variable x in place of our mystery number.
Four less than 6 times a number: 6x - 4 _ __.
Now we can add the equal sign and the 32: 6x - 4 = 32.
We can now solve. Add 4 to both sides of the equation to cancel out the -4:
6x - 4 = 32
<u>+4 + 4</u>
6x = 36
Now we divide 6 into both sides of the equation to single out the x.
<u>6x = 36</u>
6 6
36/6 = 6, so:
x = 6
I hope that this helps.
Hello there!
The correct answer is C
-----------------------------
x - 3x = 2(4 + x)
Distribute the right side
x - 3x = (2)(4)+(2)(x)
x - 3x = 8 + 2x
Combine like terms
x - 3x - 2x = 8
-4x = 8
Divide both sides by -4
-4x/4 = 8/4
x = -2
Hence,
The correct answer is c
Have a nice day!
They are not equivalent because 27-(63-8) is equal to -28 and (72-63)-8 is equal to 1.<span />
