7(x - 3) + 3(4 - x) = -8
7x - 21 + 12 - 3x = -8
7x - 3x = -8 + 21 - 12
4x = 1
x = 1/4
1/3 = 8/24
1/8 = 3/24
use 24 since it's the LCM of 8 and 3
8-3/24 = 5/24
you multiply the number of years
Answer:
The value of each expression when x=3 will be -20 and -20.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression
-4x-8
setting x=3
= -4(3)-8
=-12-8
=-20
Given the expression
-2(x+1)-2(x+3)
setting x=3
=-2(3+1)-2(3+3)
=-2(4)-2(6)
=-8-12
=-20
so we conclude that the value of both the expressions was -20 when we substituted the value x=3.
Therefore, the value of each expression when x=3 will be -20 and -20.
