Solve for x: -2(x + 3) = -4x + 20

Mathematics
1 answer:
Phantasy [73]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets start with 13

-2(13 + 3) = -4(13) + 20

-32 = -52 + 20

-32 = -32

x = 1 basically

now 19

-2(19 + 3) = -4(19) +20

-44 = -76 + 20

-44 = -56

so divide those

-2(31 + 3) = -4(31) + 20

-68 = -124 + 20

-68 = -104

divide them

-2(37 + 3) = -4(37) + 20

-80 = -148 + 20

-80 = -128

How do I complete this formal check?
natima [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first two steps are for the purpose of eliminating fractions.  Doing so results in 4(2x - 5) = 9(x - 2), which is to be solved for x.

Perform the indicated multiplication, obtaining:

8x - 20 = 9x - 18.

Then combine like terms:  -2 = x, or

x = -2.

To complete the formal check, substitute -2 for x in the first equation.  This results in:

(1/3)(-4 - 5) = (3/4)(-2 -2), or

        -3       =        -3

... which is obviously true.

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Only 10 base units to learn

Step-by-step explanation:

The metric system is a decimal based system developed to be universally acceptable by making use of base units from obtained from nature and the use of prefixes for multiples and submultiples of the base units, decimal ratios, which allows easy representation of quantities, as well as having a coherent structure of base and derived units which are obtained from the base units

During conversion in the metric system, which is decimal based, it is only required to move the decimal point

The prefixes which are used to specify multiples and submultiples are the same through out

The decimal system is based on the powers of ten

The number of base units to learn are 7 including; 1. Meter (m), 2. Kilogram (kg), 3. Second (s), 4. Ampere (A), 5. Kelvin (k), 6. Candela (cd), and 7. mole (mol)

Therefore the metric system has several advantages that include all of the following except; Only 10 base units to learn
