Hello there!
4(3x - 11) + 23 = 5x - 14
Apply the distributive property to 4(3x - 11)
4(3x) + 4(-11)
12x - 44
We now have:
12x - 44 + 23 = 5x - 14
Combine like-terms on the left-hand side of the equation.
-44 + 23 = -21
12x - 21 = 5x - 14
Get x on one side by subtracting 5x from both sides..
12x - 5x = 7x
5x - 5x = 0
7x - 21 = -14
Add 21 to both sides to isolate 7x.
-21 + 21 = 0
-14 + 21 = 7
7x = 7
Divide both sides by 7 to solve for x.
7x / 7 = x
7 / 7 = 1
We are now left with the following solution:
x = 1
I hope this helps!
Answer:
x = - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
f(x) = - 4x - 10 and f(x) = 10, the equate right sides, that is
- 4x - 10 = 10 ( add 10 to both sides )
- 4x = 20 ( divide both sides by - 4 )
x = - 5

Answer:
The Chef will prepare 320 soups for a large banquet
Step-by-step explanation:
chef thinks that 2 out of every 5 dinner guests will order soup
===> Order soup / total number of attender
= 2/5
Total guest = 800 ==> 4 people ordered soup is
2 /5 = x /800
cross multiplying
x = 2 x 800 / 5
= 320
The Chef will prepare 320 soups for a large banquet
