You have to distribute the parentheses first. Since there is a negative sign in front of the parentheses, it counts as a negative 1. After you distribute you should get: -5+6x=20x+12, but that is not your final answer. After you add like terms: 17x=-17. Divide 17 on both sides: x=-1. X=-1 is your final answer.
Answer:
you can do (500)(4) x 2
Step-by-step explanation:
500 x 4 = 2000
2000(2) = 4000
So nyc=5 times 10^-2 miles
NYC-Mumbai=7.5 times 10^3
so
5 times 10^-2 times x=7.5 times 10^3
divide both sdies by 5 times 10^-2
x=(7.5 times 10^3)/(5 times 10^-2)
when dividing scientific notation you do this
x=(7.5 times 10^3)/(5 times 10^-2)=(7.5/5) times ((10^3)/(10^-2))
to divide exponents just subtract top from bottom
3-(-2)=5
answer is
x=1.5 times 10^5
The answer is: [C]: " (x - 4) " .

" (x+9)(x-4) = x² - 4x + 9x - 36 = x² + 5x - 36 " .

The correct answer would be the 3rd one because the number simplified equals that
