No, these are not equal because:-

2(x - 2) = 2*x - 2*2 = 2x - 4

2x - 2 is not equal to 2x - 4

Answer: Not equal

Help please -19 + 2z = -21
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

z = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

You must first start out by adding 19 to both sides to isolate the variable z, which results in:

2z = -2

Now, you can just divide by two on both sides to get z completely on its own, which gives you:

z = -1

Hope this helped somewhat! :D

  • Step 1: Given area of the rectangle = 3x² + 9x in². Length = 3x in. Find width.

Area = length × width

3x² + 9x = 3x × width

∴ Width = 3x² + 9x/3x = x + 3 in
