Answer:

METHOD 1:

5x+7(x+1)=5x-21

5x+7x+7=5x-21

12x+7=5x-21

12x-5x=-21-7

7x=-28

x=28/7

x=4

METHOD 2:

5x+7(x+1)=5x-21

5x+7(x+1)=5x-21-5x

7(x+1)=-21

7x+7=-21

7x=-28

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

METHOD 1:

5x+7(x+1)=5x-21

5x+7x+7=5x-21

12x+7=5x-21

12x-5x=-21-7

7x=-28

x=28/7

x=4

METHOD 2:

5x+7(x+1)=5x-21

5x+7(x+1)=5x-21-5x

7(x+1)=-21

7x+7=-21

7x=-28

x=4

(-2x-1)^2=0 How to solve brackets, please help

malfutka [58]

Not quite sure what you mean by brackets, but you can get the solution to this equation in a few steps:

(-2x - 1)² = 0 ... square root both sides to eliminate the squared binomial
√(-2x - 1)² = √0 ... simplify; the square is canceled out and the root of 0 brings you back to 0
-2x - 1 = 0 ... solve like a two-step equation
-2x = 1
x = -1/2 is your x-value.
