Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - (x - 4) = -20

4x - x + 4

~Subtract 4 to both sides

3x = -24

~Divide 3 to both sides

x = -8

Best of Luck!

Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - (x - 4) = - 20

Distribute the minus sign

4x - x +4 = -20

Combine like terms

3x+4 = -20

Subtract 4 from each side

3x+4-4 = -20-4

3x = -24

Divide by 3

3x/3 = -24/3

x = -8

Use the formula d =rt to find the distance d a long distance runner can run at a rate r of 9 1/2 miles per hour for time t of 1

shtirl [24]

D=rt
So you're going to plug in the values listed: r= 9 1/2 and t=1 3/4

This will give you:
d=(9.5)(1.75)

Then you solve:
d=16.625

You should probably convert that decimal answer into a fraction since you're question gave it to you as a fraction.
