Answer:
A (4x-12)
Step-by-step explanation:
Still think of PEMDAS: 8-4(-x=5)
a) Multiply -4(-x + 5)
* -4(-x) = 4x (remember a neg x neg = pos)
* -4(5) = - 20
b) Now it reads = 8 +4x - 20
c) put all like terms together
* 8 - 20 = -12
In algebra it is fully possible for x to equal to zero. After you have 2x, just divide both sides by two, so it would be 2 divided by 0 and than you would have x=0 and that would be your final answer.
2x + 1 = 4x +1
-2x +1 = 1
-2x = 0
divide by -2
x=0
Hi! I'm happy to help!
Our total line is JL (4x), and it is split into two parts: JK, and KL. We have our values, and we know that JK+KL=JL, so we can substitute our values and solve for x:
4x=(2x+3)+(x)
4x=3x+3
To solve for x, we have to isolate it on one side of the equation.
First, let's subtract 3x from both sides so that we can isolate x:
4x=3x+3
-3x -3x
x=3
<u>So, our x=3, which means that KL=3.</u>
I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D
