3-(2x-5)=-4(x+2)
We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand
3-(2x-5)=-4(x+2)
Remove unnecessary parentheses
3-2x+5=-4*(x+2)
Reorder the terms in parentheses
3-2x+5=+(-4x-8)
Remove unnecessary parentheses
+3-2x+5=-4x-8
We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.
-2x+4x=-8-3-5
We simplify left and right side of the equation.
+2x=-16
We divide both sides of the equation by 2 to get x.
x=-8
Okay, as you know, adding a positive and a positive gives you a bigger positive number. e.g 21 + 19 = 40.
Subtracting a positive from a positive might give you a negative number or a smaller positive number. e.g 21 - 19 = 2 or 20 - 24 = -4. That's simple, we all learned this! :)
Adding two negatives (e.g -4 + -5) will always give you a negative number. To make it easier, just think of the numbers only (4, 5), add them together, and then just put a negative sign by the answer (e.g 4 + 5 = 9 so put - to make -9).
Subtracting two negatives can be a bit tricky! When we say, for example, -5 - -4, we must turn the negative number that was to the right of the minus ( -4) into a positive number! So now it becomes -5 +4 ! And then you get your answer. (which is -1).
Adding a positive to a negative can give you a positive or a negative answer. It just depends which number is "bigger". E.g -20 + 31. << 31 is the "bigger" number, and it is a positive, so we know that our answer will be positive. E.g -20 + 9. << 20 is the "bigger" number (even though it's a negative but forget about that) and it is negative, so we know that our answer will be negative.
Adding a negative to a positive can give you a negative or a positive answer. Like I said, it depends on which number is "bigger". e.g 20 + -9 . We can just remove the + sign and it now becomes 20 -9, which is easier to understand. 20 is the bigger number, and it is positive, so we get a positive answer. e.g 20 + -30 becomes 20 -30 and -30 is the "bigger" number and it is negative, so we'll get a negative answer.
Subtracting a negative from a positive does the thing I mentioned earlier: e.g 20 - -9. The -9 is right of the minus sign and becomes positive: 20 +9! :)
Subtracting a positive from a negative, like I said, depends on which number is "bigger". e.g -30 - 9 (we know 9 is positive even though we don't show the + sign). Now, to make it simple, just block out the - sign by the 30 so it becomes 30 - 9. You know what that answer is: 21. But because -30 is "bigger", and it is a negative number, the answer will be negative so it's -21. E.g -30 - 42 << Block out the - sign by the 30, and 42 is the "bigger" number, so the answer will be a positive. Just look at the difference between "bigger" number and the smaller number (without signs) . That'll give your answer. 42 - 30 = 12. 42 was the "bigger" number and a positive, and we looked at the difference. :)
Answers:
- AE = 26
- AN = 58
- CT = 22.5
- Perimeter of triangle AEN = 127
=========================================================
Work Shown:
Because points C, P, and T are midpoints of the sides of triangle AEN, this means the segments CP, PT, and CT are midsegments of triangle AEN.
The segment PT = 13 is a midsegment of the larger triangle, and it is parallel to the side AE. Recall the midsegment is half as long as its parallel side.
This means,
PT = (1/2)*AE
2*PT = AE
AE = 2*PT
AE = 2*13
AE = 26
---------------
We'll use the same idea to find AN
CP = (1/2)*AN
2*CP = AN
AN = 2*CP
AN = 2*29
AN = 58
---------------
And we can also say,
CT = (1/2)*EN
CT = (1/2)*43
CT = 22.5
----------------
Add up the sides of triangle AEN to find its perimeter
Perimeter of triangle AEN = (AE)+(EN)+(AN)
Perimeter of triangle AEN = (26)+(43)+(58)
Perimeter of triangle AEN = 127
