Mathematics

trapecia [35]3 years ago

-4x - 12 = 8

     + 12  +12

<u>-4x </u>=<u> 20</u>

-4     -4

<em>x = -5</em>

To ensure that x equals -5, let's substitute the negative integer with x.

-4 x -5 - 12 = 8

-20 - 12 = 8

8 = 8

Therefore, the answer is x = -5 because we confirmed our answer by substituting x with -5 and solving the equation and got the both sides of the equation equal.

-4x-12=8
Add12 to both sides
-4x= 20
Divide both sides by -4

Calculate the area of the irregular polygon shown below:
olga nikolaevna [1]
26 Square Inches. 
If you find the area of the two missing fragments, which are 3 in. by 4 in., you can make the equation 2(3 x 4)= 24. Find the area of the whole 5 in. by 10 in. which is equal to 50 in. Subtract 24 from 50 and you get 26.
