Answer:

x = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

-12x - 2(x + 9) = 5(x + 4)

-12x - 2x  - 18 = 5x + 20

-14x - 18 = 5x + 20

-14x - 5x  = 20 + 18

-19x = 38

x = -2

x = -2

−12x−2(x+9)=5(x+4)

Use the distributive property to multiply −2 by x+9.

−12x−2x−18=5(x+4)

Combine −12x and −2x to get −14x.

−14x−18=5(x+4)

Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by x+4.

−14x−18=5x+20

Subtract 5x from both sides.

−14x−18−5x=20

Combine −14x and −5x to get −19x.

−19x−18=20

Add 18 to both sides.

−19x=20+18

Add 20 and 18 to get 38.

−19x=38

Divide both sides by −19.

x=  

−19

38

​

 

Divide 38 by −19 to get −2.

x=−2

irina1246 [14]

Remark

Start by figuring this out for 1 car. Worry about the 7 part when you find 1.

This problem is used quite frequently in physics. For example resistors in parallel use the same equation.

Formula

1/frank + 1/carla + 1/missy = 1/ time taken to do 1 mar.

Givens

Frank = 2 hours

Carla = 2 hours

Missy = 3 hours.

Substitute and Solve

1/2 + 1/2 + 1/3 = 1/Three_together.

3/6 + 3/6 + 2/6 = 1/Three_together.

8/6 = 1/Three_together. Cross multiply

8 * Three_Together = 6*1

8 * Three_Together = 6 Divide by 8

Three_Together = 6/8 = 3/4 = 0.75 hours. or 45 minutes for 1 car

Seven Cars

For 7 cars multiply 0.75 by 7

7 * 0.75 = 5.25 hours. <<<< Answer
