4x-1=-2(x+1)
Distribute
4x-1=-2x-2
Move variable to left and change signs
4x+2x=-2+1
Combine like terms
6x=-1
Divide both sides by 6
X=-1/6

Answer:

$5x^2+7x+30+\frac{102}{x-3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathrm{Divide\:the\:leading\:coefficients\:of\:the\:numerator\:}5x^3-8x^2+9x+12\\\mathrm{and\:the\:divisor\:}x-3\mathrm{\::\:}\frac{5x^3}{x}=5x^2\\\mathrm{Quotient}=5x^2\\\mathrm{Multiply\:}x-3\mathrm{\:by\:}5x^2:\:5x^3-15x^2\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}5x^3-15x^2\mathrm{\:from\:}5x^3-8x^2+9x+12\mathrm{\:to\:get\:new\:remainder}\\\mathrm{Remainder}=7x^2+9x+12\\\mathrm{Therefore}\\=5x^2+\frac{7x^2+9x+12}{x-3}$

$\mathrm{Divide\:the\:leading\:coefficients\:of\:the\:numerator\:}7x^2+9x+12\\\mathrm{and\:the\:divisor\:}x-3\mathrm{\::\:}\frac{7x^2}{x}=7x\\\mathrm{Quotient}=7x\\\mathrm{Multiply\:}x-3\mathrm{\:by\:}7x:\:7x^2-21x\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}7x^2-21x\mathrm{\:from\:}7x^2+9x+12\mathrm{\:to\:get\:new\:remainder}\\\mathrm{Remainder}=30x+12\\\mathrm{Therefore}\\=5x^2+7x+\frac{30x+12}{x-3}\\$

$\mathrm{Divide\:the\:leading\:coefficients\:of\:the\:numerator\:}30x+12\\\mathrm{and\:the\:divisor\:}x-3\mathrm{\::\:}\frac{30x}{x}=30\\\mathrm{Quotient}=30\\\mathrm{Multiply\:}x-3\mathrm{\:by\:}30:\:30x-90\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}30x-90\mathrm{\:from\:}30x+12\mathrm{\:to\:get\:new\:remainder}\\\mathrm{Remainder}=102\\\mathrm{Therefore}\\=5x^2+7x+30+\frac{102}{x-3}$

A rectangular athletic field is twice as long as it is wide. if the perimeter of the athletic field is 192 yards, what are its

qaws [65]

P = 2(L + W)
P = 192
L = 2W

192 = 2(2W + W)
192 = 2(3W)
192 = 6W
192/6 = W
32 = W <=== the width is 32 yards

L = 2W
L = 2(32)
L = 64 <=== the length is 64 yards
