Question

Solve -4(x + 10) - 6 = -3(x - 2).

-40

-46

-52

52

Answer 1

Well first we distribute

Answer 2

so this becomes

-4x-40-6=-3x+6

Answer 3

then we combine like terms

-4x-46=-3x+6

Answer 4

Then we combine like terms again
-4+3=-1
-x-46=6
add 46 on both sides
-x=52 then we divide and get what ?

Answer 5

Gahhh, I just totally got lost!

Answer 6

I'm not sure what I'm dividing.

Answer 7

-x divided by 52

-x is another word for -1

Answer 8

So it's still 52?

Answer 9

Caution! NEGATIVE divided by a Positive makes what?

Answer 10

Oh wait.. -52?

Answer 11

I really need help..

Answer 12

Correct!

Answer 13

Can you help with another? :/

Answer 14

Sorry for the long wait. It didnt inform you you messaged me.

Answer 15

Yes

Answer 16

Solve for L: A = L • W • H

L = A times W over H

Answer 17

and Below are the steps to solve an equation:

Step 1: |x - 5| + 2 = 5
Step 2: |x - 5| = 5 - 2
Step 3: |x - 5| = 3

Which of the following is a correct next step to solve the equation?

x + 5 = -3

-x - 5 = 3

x - 5 = -3

x + 5 = 3

Answer 18

Oh wait, it's cut off. Solve for L: A = L • W • H

L = A times W over H

L = W times H over A

L = A over quantity W times H

L = W over quantity H times A

Answer 19

Wait i am confused which one is the question?

Answer 20

I posted two questions, there first one is the LWAH one.

Answer 21

do you know the answers?

Answer 22

This is how you'd solve the equation:

Step 1: |x - 5| + 2 = 5
Step 2: |x - 5| = 5 - 2
Step 3: |x - 5| = 3

Step 4: x - 5 = 3 or x - 5 = -3

Answer 23

and what about the other one?

Answer 24

L = A over quantity W times H
