4x + 6 < -6
First, subtract 6 from both sides. / Your problem should look like: 3x < -6 - 6
Second, simplify -6 - 6 to -12. / Your problem should look like: 3x < -12
Third, divide both sides by 4. / Your problem should look like: x <
Fourth, simplify
to 3. / Your problem should look like: x < -3
Answer:
x < -3<span />
3-(2x-5)=-4(x+2)
We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand
3-(2x-5)=-4(x+2)
Remove unnecessary parentheses
3-2x+5=-4*(x+2)
Reorder the terms in parentheses
3-2x+5=+(-4x-8)
Remove unnecessary parentheses
+3-2x+5=-4x-8
We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.
-2x+4x=-8-3-5
We simplify left and right side of the equation.
+2x=-16
We divide both sides of the equation by 2 to get x.
x=-8
5x6=25x5=125 (125) I think it’s correct
Well right off the bat, I can see a good reason why it should boggle.
If (x+y)=6 and (x-y)=2, then (x+y)(x-y) would be 12. It can't be 20.
The first 4 lines on the paper are inconsistent, so the question in the 5th line can't be calculated.
Another possible source of uncertainty (for us, anyway) is the remarkable similarity between the way you write ' Y ' and the way you write ' 4 ' . For example, look at the ' Y⁴ ' (I think ...) in the last line.
