Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Move the variable to the left hand side and change its sign.

5 - 2x + 4x = -7

Collect like terms.

- 2x + 4x = - 7 - 5

2x = - 7 - 5

Calculate the difference.

2x = -12

Divide both sides.

x = -6

Don has a bag that weighs 2 oz, and Jamie has a bag that weighs 1 oz. Don put some marbles in his bag each weighing 9.4 oz, and

Andrej [43]

total weight of both bags = 3 oz + 20.6m oz

Don's bag = 2 oz
Jamie's bag = 1 oz
Don's marbles = 9.4 oz * m
Jamie's marlbes = 11.2 oz * m

Total weight of Don's bag = 2 oz + 9.4m oz
Total weight of Jamie's bag = 1 oz + 11.2m oz

2 oz + 9.4m oz + 1 oz + 11.2m oz = 3 oz + 20.6m oz
