Our first step is to distribute/expand in the brackets so we are able to isolate x-term.

\large{4 - 2x - 14 = 3x + 15}

I hope you still remember that when multiplying positive with negative, it becomes negative. Then we combine like terms - we isolate the 2x by adding 2x both sides and subtract both sides by 15.

\large{4 - 2x - 14 + 2x - 15 = 3x + 15 + 2x - 15} \\  \large{ - 25 = 5x}

Then to divide both sides by 5 so we can finally get the x-term isolated.

\large{ \frac{ - 25}{5}  =  \frac{5x}{5}  \longrightarrow  - 5 = x}

Dividing the negative by positive results in negative as well! Next step is optional, which is about checking the answer. To check the answer if it's right or not, we can do by substituting x = -5 in the equation and solve until these two outcomes may occur:

  • Both sides are different (Ex. 2 = 5). This means that the answer is not correct or not a part of the equation.
  • Both sides are equal/same (Ex. 4 = 4). This means that the answer is correct and a part of the equation.

\large{4 - 2(x + 7) = 3(x + 5)}

From the given equation above, substitute the value of x which is -5 in the equation.

\large{4 - 2( - 5 +  7) = 3( - 5 + 5)}

Evalute/Simplify:

\large{4 - 2(2) = 3(0) \longrightarrow 4 - 4 = 0} \\  \large \boxed{0 = 0}

Since both sides are equal or same. Thus the solution to this equation is x = -5.

Answer

  • x = -5

I hope this helps! If you have any doubts or questions, don't hestitate to ask in the comment! Good luck on your assignment and have a great day! :)

Tammy has a job that has a weekly salary of $1,200 but wants to switch a job that has a monthly salary of $11,700. How much more
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

$1529.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Tammy has a job that has a weekly salary of $1,200.

But wants to switch a job that has a monthly salary of $11,700

Question asked:

How much more will she make per week if she switch to the new job?

Solution:

Monthly salary of a new job, she wants to switch = $11,700

Weekly salary  of a new job, she wants to switch = ?

As we know : 1 month = 4.286 Weeks

Salary of 1 month for a new job, she wants to switch = $11,700

Salary of  4.286 Weeks  for a new job, she wants to switch =  $11,700

Salary of 1 Week  for a new job, she wants to switch = 11700\div4.286=\$2729.81

Now, we have to find that How much more she will make per week,  if she switch to the new job.

More money she will make for a new job she wants o switch = Weekly salary for a new job, she wants to switch  - Weekly salary of current job

More money she will make, for a new job = $2729.8 - $1200 = $1529.8

Therefore, she will  make $1529.8 more  per week if she switch to the new job.

Please solve <br> -(6x+7)+8=19
JulijaS [17]
-6x-7+8=19 and then add your like terms so it’s -6x+1=19 and then subtract one on both sides so it’s -6x=18 so x=-3
