~ Simplifying
-4x + -4 = -7(x + 4)
~ Reorder the terms:
-4 + -4x = -7(x + 4)
~ Reorder the terms:
-4 + -4x = -7(4 + x)
-4 + -4x = (4 * -7 + x * -7)
-4 + -4x = (-28 + -7x)
~ Solving
-4 + -4x = -28 + -7x
~ Solving for variable 'x'.
~ Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
~ Add '7x' to each side of the equation.
-4 + -4x + 7x = -28 + -7x + 7x
~ Combine like terms: -4x + 7x = 3x
-4 + 3x = -28 + -7x + 7x
~ Combine like terms: -7x + 7x = 0
-4 + 3x = -28 + 0
-4 + 3x = -28
~ Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + 4 + 3x = -28 + 4
~ Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + 3x = -28 + 4
3x = -28 + 4
~ Combine like terms: -28 + 4 = -24
3x = -24
~ Divide each side by '3'.
x = -8
~ Simplifying
x = -8

- The equation :
Area = length x width
- Substitute the values in :
Area = (x - 5)(x - 5 + 22)
(Note : the 'x' is for the algebraic expression x in the example above)
- Now you have to simplify the second parenthesis:
Area = (x - 5)(x + 17)
- Now expand :
Area = x^2 + 17x - 5x - 85
- Simplify by collecting like terms :
Area = x^2 + 12x - 85
(Note : x^2 means x squared)
Now you have your answer as:
x^2 + 12x - 85 feet^2
