Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
The last step is incorrect. When we divide both sides by a negative the inequality is flipped. The answer is x < -1/2.
Also they omitted the other possibility that the expression in the vertical lines could be negative.
We also have the inequality
- 4x + 1 < - 3
-4x < -4
x > 1.
Answer:
x = -21
Step-by-step explanation:
62 + 2x - 20 = 0.
Combine like terms
42 +2x =0
Subtract 42 from each side
42-42 +2x = 0-42
2x = -42
Divide each side by 2
2x/2 = -42/2
x = -21
4/3 because I typed in on my calculator

Answer:
(b) 5, 17
Step-by-step explanation:
You can try the answer choices easily enough.
2 +3×8 ≠ 14
2 +3×5 = 17 . . . . this choice works (5, 17)
2 +3×2 ≠ 20
2 +3×4 ≠ 18
2 +3×10 ≠ 12
__
Or, you can solve the equation:
x + (2 +3x) = 22
4x = 20 . . . . . . . . subtract 2
x = 5 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4
The numbers are 5 and (22 -5) = 17.
