The original value of x was negative, then –x, the opposite-signed version of x, would have to be positive. For instance, if I start with x = –3, then –x = –(–3) = +3, which is positive.
6a^2 + 14a
hope this helps
Plug in
2(2) + 3(-3) + (-5)
4 + (-9) + (-5)
4 + (-14)
-10
Answer is -10
2x + 3y + z = -10
Answer: x= 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
x−5(x−1)=2x−(2x−3)
x−5(x−1)=2x+−1(2x−3)(Distribute the Negative Sign)
x−5(x−1)=2x+−1(2x)+(−1)(−3)
x−5(x−1)=2x+−2x+3
x+(−5)(x)+(−5)(−1)=2x+−2x+3(Distribute)
x+−5x+5=2x+−2x+3
(x+−5x)+(5)=(2x+−2x)+(3)(Combine Like Terms)
−4x+5=3
−4x+5=3
Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides.
−4x+5−5=3−5
−4x=−2
Step 3: Divide both sides by -4.
−4x
/−4
=
−2
/−4
x = 1/2
