I figured it out, the answer is X = -52/5
So five plus three times x equals twenty because five is alone and you’re adding three times x and is represents the equal sign and twenty is alone. So the equation is this 5 + 3x = 20
Answer:
7x+3
Step-by-step explanation:
To simpfly, it would help by simply ignoring the variable (x) and just looking at the number before it, solving it like a regular math problem, from left to right.
9(x) - 2(x) = 7(x)
(-4)-(-7) = 3 --> since there's a minus sign in the middle subtracting the two numbers and one on the -7, the -7 becomes a positive 7. A negative times a negative is always positive so, it would technically be -4+7=3.
Put both of these two numbers together and you get your answer,
7x+3.
If you're having trouble with the part I explained the image might help. Read it from left to right. A negative # + a negative # = positive #, as seen by the first row.
Answer:
Sanchez had 159 hits while Washington had 177 hits.
Step-by-step explanation:
Sanchez: x
Washington: x + 18
We have the equation:
x + (x + 18) = 336
2x + 18 = 336
2x = 318
x = 159
