Answer:
x= -12
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
4x + 10 = 2x + -14
Reorder the terms:
10 + 4x = 2x + -14
Reorder the terms:
10 + 4x = -14 + 2x
Solving
10 + 4x = -14 + 2x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-2x' to each side of the equation.
10 + 4x + -2x = -14 + 2x + -2x
Combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x
10 + 2x = -14 + 2x + -2x
Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0
10 + 2x = -14 + 0
10 + 2x = -14
Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + -10 + 2x = -14 + -10
Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + 2x = -14 + -10
2x = -14 + -10
Combine like terms: -14 + -10 = -24
2x = -24
Divide each side by '2'.
x = -12
Simplifying
x = -12
Answer:
x = -31/4 or x = 17/4
Step-by-step explanation:
|4x + 7| − 4 = 20
⇔ |4x + 7| − 4 + 4 = 20 + 4
⇔ |4x + 7| = 24
⇔ 4x + 7 = 24 or 4x + 7 = -24
⇔ 4x = 24 - 7 or 4x = -24 - 7
⇔ 4x = 17 or 4x = -31
⇔ x = 17/4 or x = -31/4
40 percent 3/5 equals 60, 5/5 equals 100, 100-60 equals 40 percent
