-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
X= -5

Harrizon [31]

How much more does the hamster weighs than the mouse is 300 pounds.

Since we have a pet hamster and a pet mouse. We know that the hamster weighs 416 of a pound and the mouse weighs 116 of a pound.

To know how much more the hamster weighs more than the mouse, we take the difference between the weight of the hamster and the weight of the mouse.

Since the weight of the hamster = 416 pounds and the weight of the mouse equals 116 pounds.

<h3>The difference in weight</h3>

The difference in the weight d = weight of hamster - weight of mouse

= 416 pounds - 116 pounds

= 300 pounds.

11/3 is bigger 1.27 because when you do 11/3 you get 3.66666666666666666667 which is clearly bigger than 1.27 so like I said 11/3 is bigger than 1.27.
