Answer:

\huge\boxed{x=-3}

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+2(x-3)=3x+x-12\qquad|\text{use the distributive property}\\\\4x+(2)(x)+(2)(-3)=3x+x-12\\\\4x+2x-6=3x+x-12\qquad|\text{combine like terms}\\\\(4x+2x)-6=(3x+x)-12\\\\6x-6=4x-12\qquad|\text{add 6 to both sides}\\\\6x-6+6=4x-12+6\\\\6x=4x-6\qquad|\text{subtract}\ 4x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\6x-4x=4x-4x-6\\\\2x=-6\qquad|\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\\dfrac{2x}{2}=\dfrac{-6}{2}\\\\x=-3

Diego works at a warehouse that ships two types of packages, a red package weighing 4 pounds and a blue package weighing 6 pound
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Red =x   Blue = y

1)  4x + 6y = 180

2)  x + y = 40

solve for x in eq. 2 and plug into eq. 1

2a)  x=40-y

1a)  4(40-y) + 6y = 180

160-4y +6y = 180

2y=20

y=10

plug into eq. 2

x + 10 =40

x=30

30 red packages
