Use elimination method to get -8
It’s 1, anything to the zero power is one.
Answer:
x = -11/9
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x-4) + 1 = 12x
Step 1: Use distributive property
3*x - 3*4 + 1 = 12x
3x - 12 + 1 = 12x
Step 2: Combine like terms
3x - 11 = 12x
Step 3: Subtract '3x' from both sides
-11 = 12x - 3x
-11 = 9x
Step 4: Divide both sides by 9
-11/9 = x
Simplify the equation to find X:
7/8 (-32 - 48x) +36 = 2/3( - 33x - 18) - 10x
Distribute the terms in parentheses:
-28 - 42x + 36 = -22x - 12 - 10x
Collect like terms
-42x + 8 = -32x - 12
Add 32x to both sides, and subtract 8 from both sides:
-10x = - 20
Divide both sides by -10
x = 2
