Mathematics

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be x

Five times the number is expressed as 5x  

28 greater than the product of the number and -2 is expressed as;

28 + (-2x)

Equating both expressions

5x = 28 + (-2x)

5x = 28 - 2x

5x+2x = 28

7x = 28

x = 28/7

x = 4

Hence the number is 4

20k + 5 = 5k + 65 know the answer
Katyanochek1 [597]

Solving for 'k'

20k + 5 = 5k + 65

20k = 5k + 65 -5

20k = 5k + 60

20k - 5k = 60

15k = 60

15k/15 = 60/15

k = 4

-4k + 2(5k − 6) = −3k – 48
nalin [4]

Answer:

k = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

-4k + 2(5k − 6) = −3k – 48

Distribute on the left side.

-4k + 10k - 12 = -3k - 48

Combine like terms on the left side.

6k - 12 = -3k - 48

Add 3k to both sides.

9k - 12 = -48

Add 12 to both sides.

9k = -36

Divide both sides by 9.

k = -4
