First distribute -4 to all terms within the parenthesis

-4(x) = -4x

-4(1) = -4

-4x - 4 + 5 = 17

Simplify. Combine like terms

-4x (-4 + 5) = 17

-4x + 1 = 17

Isolate the x. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side you do to the other.

Subtract 1 from both sides

-4x + 1 (-1) = 17 (-1)

-4x = 16

Divide -4 from both sides

-4x/-4 = 16/-4

x = 16/-4

x = -4

-4 is your answer

hope this helps

-4(x + 1) + 5 = 17

Distribute -4 inside the parentheses.

(-4x - 4) + 5 = 17

Combine like terms (-4 + 5).

-4x + 1 = 17

Subtract 1 from both sides.

-4x = 16

Divide both sides by -4.

x = -4

Answer:

12862.83cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the Box: [L×W×H] or [30x30x30] or [27000cm³]

Volume of the Sphere: [\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}] (\pi=pi=3.14) (r=radius=15) or [\frac{4}{3}×3.14×3375] or [14137.17cm³]

Volume of the empty space: 27000cm³-14137.17cm³=12862.83cm³

Btw there are online tools to help you find the volume of a sphere (just use it after you understand the equation)

Hope I helped!

Use the situation below to complete the table and answer the questions,
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

t = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

3 months ------ 4500

6 months ------ x

3/6 = 4500/x

cross multiplation:

3x =27000

x = 9000,or we should have just doubled the wages, since the time doubled

3 months ------ 4500

5 months ------ y

3/5 = 4500/y

3y = 22500

y = 7500

3 months ------- 4500

t months -------- 19500

3/t = 4500/19500 = 3/13

3t = 39

t = 13
