The answer is 5. Work backwards: first add 7 to 9, then divide by 2, then subtract 3.
9+7=16
16/2=8
8-3=5
Cross Check:
5+3=8
8*2=16
16-7=9
Final Answer: 5
(2a-1 )exponent two•(3a + 2) exponent 2• (4a-3) exponent 2
Answer:
distribute parenthesis
Step-by-step explanation:
6(2x + 1) = 4x - 5 ← distribute parenthesis on left side
12x + 6 = 4x - 5 ( subtract 4x from both sides )
8x + 6 = - 5 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
8x = - 11 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = -
