Answer: 14 = x

Step-by-step explanation: Start by distributing through the parenthses

on each side of the equation to get 4x + 16 = 6x - 12.

Now move your x's to the right and numbers

to the left and you get 28 = 2x.

Divide both sides by 2 and 14 = x.

Answer:

x = 14

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

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

4(x + 4) = 6(x - 2)

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

  1. Distribute:                                   4x + 16 = 6x - 12
  2. Subtract 4x on both sides:         16 = 2x - 12
  3. Add 12 on both sides:                28 = 2x
  4. Divide 2 on both sides:              14 = x
  5. Rewrite:                                       x = 14

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

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

  1. Substitute:                    4(14 + 4) = 6(14 - 2)
  2. Add/Subtract:               4(18) = 6(12)
  3. Multiply:                        72 = 72

And we have our final answer!

Which expression is not equivalent to Negative 3 x minus one-half 4 y? 2 y minus 5 x minus one-half 2 y 2 x Negative 2 x minus o
Alona [7]

Answer:

The wrt=itten expressions are too difficult to interpret properly.  I did my best but I don't see any of the answers as equivalent to <u>-3x - 2y, so please check my interpretations of the answer options.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

"Negative 3 x minus one-half 4 y"

-3x- (1/2)4y

<u>or -3x - 2y</u>

<u>=====</u>

The answer options are too garbled for me to make sense of them.  Are they:

1.  2 y minus 5 x minus one-half 2 y  :  2y -5x - (1/2)2y; <u>y -5x</u>  ?

2.  2 x Negative 2 x minus one-half 6 y :  2(-2x)- (1/2)6y; <u>-4x - 3y</u>  ?

3.  3 x Negative 3 x minus three-fourths 4 y :  3x(-3x) - (3/4)4y;  <u>-9x -3y</u>  ?

4.   one-fourth Negative 3 y minus three-fourths 7 y one-fourth minus 3 x:

     (1/4)(-3y) - (3/4)7y - (1/4)(-3x);  -(3/4)y -(21/4)y + (3/4)x; -(24/4)y +         (3/4)x;  ?

     

I don't see any of the answers as equivalent to <u>-3x - 2y, so please check my interpretations of the answer options.</u>
