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

Can someone help me solve this geometry problem down below?
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

x = 29

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that both triangles are congruent to each other, therefore, their corresponding angles are congruent as well. This means all three angles in one is the same as all three corresponding angles of the other.

Therefore:

m<CAB = m<CDE = 74°

m<ABC = 2x (given)

m<BCA = 48° (given)

Thus:

m<CAB + m<ABC + m<BCA = 180° (sum of triangle)

Substitute

74 + 2x + 48 = 180

Add like terms

2x + 122 = 180

2x + 122 - 122 = 180 - 122

2x = 58

2x/2 = 58/2

x = 29

What is the multiplicative inverse of 1 2/3 divide by 12
Gemiola [76]
"<span>What is the multiplicative inverse of 1 2/3 divide by 12?"

Suppose you actually divide 1 2/3 by 12:   (5/3) / 12 = (5/36).
Now, if you multiply this (5/36) by 12, you'll get (5/3), which is the same as
1 2/3.</span>

Which diagram shows possible angle measures of a triangle?
gavmur [86]
Hello!

the angles in a triangle add to 180°
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triangle 1
115 + 35 + 25 = 175

Since it does not equal 180 it is not triangle 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triangle 2
115 + 32 + 33 = 180

Since it does equal 180 it is triangle 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The answer is triangle 2

Hope this helps!

uncle sammy invests money on stocks and makes 7 to 13 percent of the invested money. Calculate the range of money sammy will mak
Effectus [21]

The invested money by uncle Sammy = $2,300.

Uncle Sammy makes minimum percent  = 7 %.

So, let us calculate the minimum amount Uncle Sammy can make to invest $2,300 at 7%.

7% of 2,300 = 0.07 * 2,300 = $161.

Uncle Sammy makes maximum percent  = 13 %.

So, let us calculate the maximum amount Uncle Sammy can make to invest $2,300 at 13%.

13% of 2,300 = 0.13 * 2,300 = $299.

Therefore, the $161 - $299 is the range of money uncle Sammy will make if he invests his next paycheck of $2,300.

What times itself equals 32 (sorry i suck at maths)
julia-pushkina [17]
You're asking for the square root of 32. you can actually do this on a calculator really easily. just type in the number (in this case, 32) and press the square root symbol (looks like a calculator). the square root of 32 is a long string of decimals,  but it's approximately 5.7 :) good luck
