Answer: 2x - 4(x + 1) = 3x= -4/5

2x−4(x+1)=3x

2x+(−4)(x)+(−4)(1)=3x(Distribute)

2x+−4x+−4=3x

(2x+−4x)+(−4)=3x(Combine Like Terms)

−2x+−4=3x

−2x−4=3x

Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.

−2x−4−3x=3x−3x

−5x−4=0

Step 3: Add 4 to both sides.

−5x−4+4=0+4

−5x=4

Step 4: Divide both sides by -5.

2x - 4x – 4 = 3x= -4/5

2x−4x−4=3x

2x+−4x+−4=3x

(2x+−4x)+(−4)=3x(Combine Like Terms)

−2x+−4=3x

−2x−4=3x

Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.

−2x−4−3x=3x−3x

−5x−4=0

Step 3: Add 4 to both sides.

−5x−4+4=0+4

−5x=4

Step 4: Divide both sides by -5.

-2x - 4 = 3x= -4/5 as well

Y = 7/8u + 9, solve for u

vivado [14]

Answer:

$u=\frac{8y-72}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Flip the equation.

$\frac{7}{8}u+9=y$

Add -9 to both sides

$\frac{7}{8}u+9(-9)=y(-9)$

$\frac{7}{8}u=y-9$

Divide both sides by 7/8

$u=\frac{8y-72}{7}$

hope this helps

What is the answer and work for these attached below

GrogVix [38]

-4(-5-b)=1/3(b+16) Multiply both sides by 3 to get rid of the fraction
-12(-5-b)=b+16 distribute the -12 to get rid of the parenthesis
60+12b=b+16 get the b on the left side and non b values to the right side
11b=-44 solve for b
b=-44/11 simplify the fraction
b=-4

3/5(t+18)=-3(2-t) multiply both sides by 5/3 to get rid of thefraction
t+18=-5(2-t) distribute the -5 to get rid of the parenthises
t+18=-10+5t get the t to the left side and non t values to the right
-4t=-28 solve for t
t=7

The perimeter of a square is 40 inches...Determine the area of the square ... A.) 160 square inches B) 10 square *inches C) 100

marysya [2.9K]

P=4s

s=p/4

a=s^2, using s found above

a=p^2/16, we were told that p=40 so

a=40^2/16

a=100 in^2
