Simplify -5x + 12 - 7x to -12x + 12
-12x + 12 = -3(5x + 8)
Expand
-12x + 12 = -15x - 24
Add 15x to both sides
-12x + 12 + 15x = -24
Simplify 12x + 12 + 15x to 3x + 12
3x + 12 = -24
Subtract 12 from both sides
3x = -24 - 12
Simplify -24 - 12 to -36
3x = -36
Divide both sides by 3
x = -36/3
Simplify 36/3 to 12
<u>x = -12</u>
3x^2 - 4x
Im not quite sure what your asking, so I hope this helps!
Answer:
x = 45.25 and 2x + 9.50 < 100
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, so I dont know if you want am explanation but here I go
if for each game shipping is 4.75, you multiply by 2 to find the total there, hence 9.5.
and you dont want to go over $100, so the amount you spent has to be less then $100
and you're going to buy 2 games, x stands for the price.
2x + 9.50 < 100
2x < 90.5 (i just subtracted 9.5 on each side)
2/2x = 90.5/2
x = 45.25
