Answer: No value for x

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: open the bracket

5(-3x - 2) - (x - 3) = -4 (4x +5) + 13

-15x + 10 - x +3= -16x - 20 +13

Step 2: combine like terms

-15x - x + 16x = -20 +13 -10 -3

-16× +16× = -20

0= -20

Start off by distributing the numbers into the parentheses:

5(-3x - 2) - (x - 3) = -4(4x + 5) + 13
-15x - 10 - (x - 3) = -16x - 20 + 13

(Note: It's super important to be careful when opening up negative parentheses! -(x-3) is not just - x - 3, it is actually -x + 3 since the negative is distributed in every number!)

-15x - 10 - x + 3 = -16x - 20 + 13
-16x - 7 = -16x - 7
-16x = -16x
0 = 0

There is an infinite number of solutions in this equation.

(When you get 0=0 when solving for a variable, that means that said variable will have infinite solutions, that is, any number plugged into the equation will work)

Setting 7/3 equal to which ratio would result in a valid proportion? 9/49 18/42 42/18 49/9<br>​
Vinvika [58]
49/9 because if you simplify it, it would be 7/3 which is equal to the original ratio.

Mathieu is finding the x-intercepts of the function f(x) = x2 + 4x + 3. His work is shown below
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

I can't see Mathieu's work but I will show the right steps and maybe you can find where Mathieu went wrong.

f(x)=x^2+4x+3

f(x)=(x+3)(x+1)       Since 3*1=3 and 3+1=4

The x-intercepts can be found by setting y to 0 and solving for x

(in other words replace that f(x) thing with 0 and solve for x)

0=(x+3)(x+1)

Now set both factors equal to 0

x+3=0       or      x+1=0

x   =-3                    x=-1

The x-intercepts are at (-3,0) and (-1,0)
