Answer:
x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
to evaluate for x in this this question -5x-(8-x)=12
the firsst step, you would open the bracket with - then evaluate for the value of x
solution
-5x-(8-x)=12
-5x -8 + x = 12
combine the like terms
-5x + x = 12 + 8
-4x = 20
divide both sides by the coefficient of x
-4x/-4 = 20/-4
x = -5
No, because
60/3 = 20
90/6= 15
Both of the answers aren’t equivalent.
Okay, so he started out with 45 lbs.
Let's make 40% into a decimal.
40%= .4
I would multiply .4 to 45.
18.
Add 18 to 45 to get the answer.
The original weight of his bag was 63 pounds.
-2x - 4y = 1
<u>12y</u> = <u>-6x - 3</u>
12 12
y = -0.5x - 0.25
-2x - 4(-0.5x - 0.25) = 1
-2x + 2x + 1 = 1
0x + 1 = 1
<u> - 1 - 1</u>
<u>0x</u> = <u>0</u>
0 0
x = 0
-2(0) - 4y = 1
0 - 4y = 1
<u>-4y</u> = <u>1</u>
-4 -4
y = -0.25
(x, y) = (0,-0.25)
