Remember you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides
2x+3(x-4)=x-20
first distribute
2x+3(x)+3(-4)=x-20
2x+3x-12=x-20
5x-12=x-20
minus x both sides
4x-12=-20
add 12 to both sides
4x=-8
divide both sides by 4
x=-2
Answer:
42x^2 - 7x - 6x + 1
42x^2 - 13x + 1 for FOIL method
To solve for x
7x - 1 = 0
7x = 1
x = 1/7
6x - 1 = 0
6x = 1
x = 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
That equation is the same as 3m=0, only m=0 works. Do you think they want you to say, all numbers but zero are excluded? Or is the equation different?
