Answer:
The Answer is A.) -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
use the distributive property to distribute the 8
-16+16n+3n=40+5n
-16+19n=40+5n
-16=40+5n-19n
-16=40-14n
-14n+40= -16
-14n= -16-40
-14n= -56
n= -56/-14
n= 4
same thing as:
there are two 8's and two x's in there so they can come out to give you the
answer 8x
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
-2x + 1 = -4x + 9
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
- Add 4x to both sides: 2x + 1 = 9
- Subtract 1 on both sides: 2x = 8
- Divide both sides by 2: x = 4
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
-2(4) + 1 = -4(4) + 9
-8 + 1 = -16 + 9
-7 = -7
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 7x - 14 = 2x + 11 {Add 14 to both sides}
7x - 14 +14 = 2x + 11 +14
7x = 2x + 25
7x - 2x = 2x + 25 - 2x
5x = 25 {Divide both sides by 5}
5x/5 = 25/5
x = 5
2) 6x + 5 = 3x + 14
6x = 3x + 14 - 5
6x = 3x + 9
6x - 3x = 9
3x = 9
x = 9/3
x = 3
3) 12x + 5 = 4x +37
12x = 4x + 37 - 5
12x = 4x + 32
12x - 4x = 32
8x = 32
x = 32/8
x = 4
4) 3x + 8 = 2x + 21
3x = 2x + 21 - 8
3x = 2x + 13
3x - 2x = 13
x = 13
5) 5x + 3 = x + 11
5x = x + 11 -3
5x = x + 8
5x - x = 8
4x = 8
x= 8/4
x = 2
