What is -(x + 4) - 3x = x in Distributive property?

Mathematics

andre [41]2 years ago

Answer:

x = -4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Original equation: -(x+4)-3x=x

Remember distributive property allows us to get rid of the parenthesis by bringing a multiplication from outside to inside a parenthesis.

-(x+4) = -x-4

= -x-4-3x=x

Now we combine like terms in this case we have (-x) and (-3x)

= -4x-4=x

Subtract x from both sides

= -4x-4=x

  -x      -x

----------------

 -5x-4=0

Add 4 to both sides

-5x-4=0

    +4 +4

---------------

-5x=4

Our final step is to divide both sides by -5

-5x=4

----  ----

-5    -5

x = -4/5

Hope this helps!!!

A grocery store has 120 bottles of spring
notka56 [123]

Question:

A grocery store has 120 bottles of spring water in stock.  The store orders bottles of spring water in cases of 24.  The store wants to order enough cases of spring water so it has more than 500 bottles in stock.  Which inequality best models this situation?

A.  24x + 120 > 500

B.  24x - 120 > 500

C.  24x + 500 > 120

D.  24(x+120) > 500

Answer:

Option  A.  24x + 120 > 500  is the inequality that best models this situation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Number of bottles of spring  water in the stock = 120

Each case of the spring water bottles contains 24 bottles

The store wants  to order enough cases of spring water so  that it has over 500 bottles in stock.

So there are already 120 bottles in stock .

The store will order

24x +120  > 500

where x  is the number of spring water bottle cases

FIND NTH TERM QUICKEST IN GETS BRAINLIEST
patriot [66]
Answer is 13 because the numbers are increasing though odd numbers that are also increasing if that makes sense.

It’s going from 4 > 9 > 16 > 25 > 36

so from 4-9 it adds 5 and from 9-16 it adds 7 and goes on so that’s it’s like

+5 > +7 > +9 > +11

sorry if it doesn’t make good sense
