-4(x + 1) + 5 = 17
Distribute -4 inside the parentheses.
(-4x - 4) + 5 = 17
Combine like terms (-4 + 5).
-4x + 1 = 17
Subtract 1 from both sides.
-4x = 16
Divide both sides by -4.
x = -4
220000 because 2 rounds down
Answer:
x < 6
Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 4 form both sides

Multiply both sides by 3

Answer:
LM = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
BC = 4
CD is twice that, so CD is 8
Now, remembering that the area of ABCD = 32 and JKLM = 72, divide 72 by 32.
You get 2.25. This is how much bigger JKLM is than ABCD.
Using that, multiply the length of CD (which is 8) by 2.25 to get the length of LM.
You'll get 18.
Hope this helps!
B)10+5(8)+2(12)=74
10+40+24=74
