4(x-2)-3=9
<span>Reorder the terms:
4(-2 + x) + -3 = 9
</span><span>(-2 * 4 + x * 4) + -3 = 9
</span><span>(-8 + 4x) + -3 = 9
</span><span>Reorder the terms:
-8 + -3 + 4x = 9
</span><span>Combine like terms:
-8 + -3 = -11
</span>-11 + 4x = 9
<span>Solving:
-11 + 4x = 9
</span>Add '11' to each side of the equation.
-11 + 11 + 4x = 9 + 11
Combine like terms: -11 + 11 = 0
0 + 4x = 9 + 11
4x = 9 + 11
<span>Combine like terms:
9 + 11 = 20
4x = 20
</span><span>Divide each side by 4.
x = 5</span>

pic below! i hope this helps! :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x + 14 = 2(x + 6)
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Algebra book age = x
Chemistry book age = x + 8
In 6 years time
Chemistry book age = x + 8 + 6
= x + 14
Algebra book age = x + 6
the chemistry book will be twice as old as the Algebra book.
x + 14 = 2(x+6)
x + 14 = 2x + 12
x - 2x = 12 - 14
- x = - 2
Divide both sides by -1
x = 2
Check:
Chemistry book age = x + 14
= 2 + 14
= 16
Algebra book age = x + 6
= 2 + 6
= 8
I can help you because I know how to convert fractions to mixed numbers, but what is the question exactly?
