3(x + 8) = 2x - 9
<em><u>Distributive property.</u></em>
3x + 24 = 2x - 9
<em><u>Subtract 24 from both sides.</u></em>
3x = 2x - 33
<em><u>Subtract 2x from both sides.</u></em>
x = -33 (this is your answer)
We can plug this value into the original equation to verify if it's correct.
3(x + 8) = 2x - 9
3(-33 + 8) = 2 * -33 - 9
-75 = -75 √ this is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x+3) - 2(x+2) =
3x + 9 - 2x - 4 =
x + 5
always remember the rules when combining signs and operations (therefore it is -4 at the end after doing the multiplications) :
++ = +
+- = -
-+ = -
-- = +

Answer:
31 oranges
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n be the number of oranges and m be the number of bags Mr. Teo has.
If he packs 5 oranges in each bag, then he packs 5m oranges in m bags and since he is short of 4 oranges,
If he packs 4 oranges in each bag, then he packs 4m oranges in m bags and since he has 3 oranges left,
Equate right sides of these two equations:
Hence,
