Question

Someone please help me it’s due tonight

Answer 1

• Total runs scored : 60

Solution:

1. 3(-2x+4) = -6x-12

• -6x + 12 = -6x -12
• LHS ≠ RHS

Thus,

• No solution ( 6)

2. 4(2x-3)=8x-12

• 8x - 12 = 8x - 12
• LHS = RHS

Thus,

• Infinite many solutions ( 15)

3. 8(x-3)+15= 55

• 8x - 24 + 15 = 55
• 8x -9 = 55
• 8x = 9 + 55
• x = 64/8

Thus,

• x = 8 (4)

4. 14+56x-22= 8(7x-1)

• 56x -8 = 56x - 8
• LHS = RHS

Thus,

• Infinite many solutions (15)

5. 3x+8+5x=48

• 8x + 8 = 48
• 8x = 40
• x = 40/8

Thus,

• x = 5 (7)

6. -5(x-3)+9x= 35

• -5x + 15 + 9x = 35
• 4x + 15 = 35
• 4x = 20
• x = 20/4

Thus,

• x = 5 (7)

7.-3x+5-x+3=-2(2x+3)

• -4x + 8 = -4x -6
• LHS ≠ RHS

Thus,

• No solution ( 6)

Adding all the runs ,we get

• 6 + 15 + 4 + 15 + 7 + 7 + 6 = 60

Therefore, the total run scored would be equal to 60.
