Answer: Never true.
Step-by-step explanation: Distribute the numbers: 4 times x is 4x, 4 times 3 is 12. Then you have the equation: -x+4x +12 = -12. Now, choose a random number, maybe -4. A negative plus a negative cancels out so you are left with 4-16(Because you distribute the number) +12 = -12. 4-16 is -12. -12 plus 12 equals 0.
Use Pythagorean Theorem which states that in a right triangle:

, where a and b are the legs, and c is the hypotenuse.

Take the square root of both sides to solve for x.

The answer is 26.
Answer:
nonlinear
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = your number.
(x - 17) * -7 = -35. Divide each side by -7.
(x - 17) = 5. Add 17 to each side.
x = 22.
Your number is 22
