Solve your equation step-by-step.

3(x+1)=−2(x−1)−4

Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(x+1)=−2(x−1)−4

Simplify:

3x+3=−2x−2

Add 2x to both sides.

3x+3+2x=−2x−2+2x

5x+3=−2

Subtract 3 from both sides.

5x+3−3=−2−3

5x=−5

Divide both sides by 5.

5x/5 = −5/5

x=−1

Davey built a bookshelf 36 in. long. Can the shelf hold a set of encyclopedias if there are 24 books and each book averages 5/4

grin007 [14]

Yes, the 36" shelf can hold all 24 books. As 5/4=1.25" meaning, you take 1.25X24=30". So 24 books only take up 30 inches of a 36 inch shelf.
