Answer:

x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify both sides of the equation.

2 (x+3) = x − 4

(2) (x) + (2) (3) = x + −4 (Distribute)

2x + 6 = x + − 4

2x + 6 = x − 4

Subtract x (1x) from both sides

2x + 6 − x = x − 4 − x

x + 6 = − 4

Subtract 6 from both sides

x + 6 − 6 = − 4 − 6

x = -10

Answer:

x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x+3) = x-4 --> multiply (x+2) times 2

2x+6 = x - 4 --> subtract x from both sides

x+6 = -4 --> subtract 6 from both sides

x = -10

Pierce is making a rectangular frame for a photo collage that has a perimeter of 72.2 72.2 inches. The length of the frame is 20

Allushta [10]

Answer:

$P = 2x+2y$ (1)

And we know that the lenght is y = 20.3. If we solve for x from equation (1) we got:

$P-2y = 2x$

$\frac{P-2y}{2} =x$

And replacing we got:

$x = \frac{72.2 in -2*20.3 in}{2}= 15.8 in$

And the width for this case would be 15.8 in

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know that the photo is rectangular. Let's define:

x = the width, y= the length

And we know that the perimeter is given by:

$P = 2x+2y$ (1)

And we know that the lenght is y = 20.3. If we solve for x from equation (1) we got:

$P-2y = 2x$

$\frac{P-2y}{2} =x$

And replacing we got:

$x = \frac{72.2 in -2*20.3 in}{2}= 15.8 in$

And the width for this case would be 15.8 in
