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

Mathematics

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!!!

Independent events occur when the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of the second event. Rolling a four has no effect on tossing a head. To find the probability of two independent events, multiply the probability of the first event by the probability of the second event.

Other answer:

A compound event is the combination of two or more simple events (with two or more outcomes). Compound Probabilities (with more than one outcome (desired result) within a trial ): • The probability of rolling an even number less than 5 on a die. (

Joe earns $9 per hour. He worked x hours on both Wednesday and Friday, and 8 hours on both Tuesday and Saturday. Write an expres
Tamiku [17]

To find the total amount earned, you need to multiply the number of hours worked by the pay rate. Joe worked x hours for 2 days. That’s 2x hours. He worked 8 hours for 2 days. That’s 8(2), or 16 hours. The total number of hours he worked is 2x + 16. He gets paid $9/hour, so an expression for the total amount earned is 9(2x + 16), or 18x + 144.
