Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation

2(x + 4) = x - 1

Solution

2x + 8 = x - 1 Subtract x from both sides

2x-x + 8 = - 1 Combine the left

x + 8 = - 1 Subtract 8 from both sides

x + 8-8 = - 1-8

x = - 9

Check

2(-9 + 4)

2(- 5)

-10

-9 - 1

- 10

timurjin [86]

The multiply choice were worth 4 points.
Gretchen= 18x+19

So basically you can enter any number. At first I picked 3 and then I did the math and I got 73 points for Gretchen and 76 points for Ezia.

Then I pick four and then I got 91 points for them both. This is how I got the answer:

18x+19=15x+31
18(4)+19=15(4)+31
72+19=60+31
91=91
