Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(x + 2) = 4 + 2x

= -3x + -6 = 4 + 2x (Distribution: -3)

= -3x + -2x - 6 = 4 (Moving the variables to the left and change the signs)

= -3x + -2x = 4 + 6 (Move consatnts to the right and change signs)

= -3x - 2x = + 6 --> (Collect like terms)

= -5x = 10 (Then add)

= (divide -5x = 10 by -5)

= x = 2

ioda

The company paid $2000 for the printer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the price of the printer for which the company bought it.

If x is the price of printer, then 25% of x will be the profit made by the company.

That is:

0.25x

According to the statement,

The cost and profit earned by company are equal to 2500

So,

$x+0.25x = 2500\\1.25x = 2500$

Dividing both sides by 1.25

$\frac{1.25x}{1.25} = \frac{2500}{1.25}\\x = 2000$

Hence,

The company paid $2000 for the printer
