You have to distribute the parentheses first. Since there is a negative sign in front of the parentheses, it counts as a negative 1. After you distribute you should get: -5+6x=20x+12, but that is not your final answer. After you add like terms: 17x=-17. Divide 17 on both sides: x=-1. X=-1 is your final answer.
Answer:
The sum of the money shared is $1372
Step-by-step explanation:
The given ratio is
Albert:Michael:Moses=3:5:6
The total ratio is 3+5+6=14
Let the sum of money shared be $x.
Then Albert's share = 3/14 x 
= 3/ 14
Michal's Share = 5x/14
If Michael received $196 more than Albert, then the difference between their share is the $196.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the Pythagorean Theorem.
base² + height² = hypotenuse²
6² + 8² = hypotenuse²
100 = hypotenuse²
hypotenuse = √100 = 10 meters
Answer:x = 164686.592598
Step-by-step explanation:
219379.01−x/x = 0.3321
−x+219379.01/x = 0.3321
Step 1: Multiply both sides by x.
−x+219379.01≈0.3321x
−x+219379.01 − 0.3321x = 0.3321x−0.3321x (Subtract 0.3321x from both sides)
−1.3321x + 219379.01 = 0
−1.3321x + 219379.01 − 219379.01 = 0 − 219379.01 (Subtract 219379.01 from both sides)
−1.3321x = −219379.01
−1.3321x/−1.3321 = −219379.01/−1.3321
(Divide both sides by -1.3321)
x = 164686.592598
