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

Hi please answer and you dont NEED to show work but if u do i will give brainliest
Advocard [28]

Answer:

y=-\frac{2}{5} -1

Step-by-step explanation:

So first thing is that slope intercept form is setup like this

y=mx+b

m=slope

b=y intercept

the slope is change in y over change in x

as y goes down 2 x goes up 5

so the slope is -2/5

the y intercept is at (0,-1) so the y intercept is -1

therefore the answer is

y=-\frac{2}{5} -1

have a great day :)

In answering a question on a multiple-choice test, a student either knows the correct answer or guesses it. Let 0.7 be the proba
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

The probability is 0.9211

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call K the event that the student know the answer, G the event that the student guess the answer and C the event that the answer is correct.

So, the probability P(K/C) that a student knows the answer to a question, given that she answered it correctly is:

P(K/C)=P(K∩C)/P(C)

Where P(C) = P(K∩C) + P(G∩C)

Then, the probability P(K∩C) that the student know the answer and it is correct is:

P(K∩C) = 0.7

On the other hand, the probability P(G∩C) that the student guess the answer and it is correct is:

P(G∩C) = 0.3*0.2 = 0.06

Because, 0.3 is the probability that the student guess the answer and 0.2 is the probability that the answer is correct given that the student guess the answer.

Therefore, The probability P(C) that the answer is correct is:

P(C) = 0.7 + 0.06 = 0.76

Finally, P(K/C) is:

P(K/C) = 0.7/0.76 = 0.9211

Deangelo has $7 worth of dimes and quarters in a jar. He has 7 more quarters than dimes.
svlad2 [7]
D=number of dimes
q=number of quarters

let's count everything in cents
dimes are worth 10 cents
quarters are worth 25 cents

10d+25q=700
divide both sides by 5
2d+5q=140


he has 7 more quarters than dimes
q=7+d
subsitute 7+d for q in other equation

2d+5q=140
2d+5(7+d)=140
2d+35+5d=140
7d+35=140
minus 35 both sides
7d=105
divide both sides by 7
d=15

sub back

q=7+d
q=7+15
q=22


22 quarters and 15 dimes

Which of the following is the solution set of the given equation?<br><br> (x - 3) - 2(x + 6) = -5
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer: x=−10

Step-by-step explanation:

x−3−2(x+6)=−5

x+−3+(−2)(x)+(−2)(6)=−5(Distribute)

x+−3+−2x+−12=−5

(x+−2x)+(−3+−12)=−5(Combine Like Terms)

−x+−15=−5

−x−15=−5

−x−15+15=−5+15

−x=10
