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

I don’t know how to do this problem and need help getting answer?
3241004551 [841]

Hi!!! So to do this problem, you need to find the mean values for each sample. I will walk you through finding the mean of sample 1: first you want to add all of the values for sample 1, which are 4,5,2,4 and 3. Once you add those values you get 18. Then you must divide that 18 by the number of terms you added. The numbers you added were 4,5,2,4 and 3 like I said earlier which is 5 numbers. You divide 18 by 5 to get your mean, which is 3.6

Answer: (B) Sample 2

sample 1 mean = 3.6

sample 2 mean = 4.2

sample 3 mean = 3.8

sample 4 mean = 4

Flora is making salsa for a party. Every 1 cup of chopped tomatoes makes 2 3/4 cups of salsa. She uses 1 2/3 cups of tomatoes. H
pogonyaev

Answer:

4\frac{7}{12} cups of Salsa.

Step-by-step explanation:

Flora is making Salsa for a party.

Every 1 cup of chopped tomatoes makes 2\frac{3}{4} = \frac{11}{4} cups of Salsa

She uses 1\frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{3} cups of tomatoes

1\frac{2}{3} cups of tomatoes makes:

\frac{5}{3} ×  \frac{11}{4} ÷ 1 = \frac{55}{12} = 4\frac{7}{12} cups of Salsa.
