Answer: The number is 0.75 or 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
let x = the number.
Now set up an equation: The product of a number (x) and -4 = -4x. So -4x is subtracted from the number - x. x-(-4x)
Then, that equals 3 more than the number (x) = x+3
So the equation is x-(-4x)=x+3.
Then, solve the equation!
x-(-4x)=x+3
x+4x=x+3 (Distribute the negative to the parentheses)
5x=x+3 (Combine like terms)
4x=3 (Get the Xs on one side by subtracting x from both sides)
x=0.75 or 3/4 (divide by the coefficiant, 4, on both sides)
Answer:
-4 =x
Step-by-step explanation:
5x+8=3x
Subtract 5x from each side
5x-5x+8=3x-5x
8 = -2x
Divide by -2
8/-2 = -2x/-2
-4 =x
Answer:
Hi,
a=b+3
Step-by-step explanation:
Thus:
c+2b+8-4a=c-a-b-1
3b-3a=-9
<u>a=b+3</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
= 4x-x+5x+1+8-2
=8x+7
