Question

Can any one please help me in this the teacher did not explain this it have to be in the lowest term also no decimal answer thank you please help me

Answer 1

a. -5 + 3x = -41

3x = -36

x = -12

b. 7x - 4 = -2x + 11

9x = 15

x = 15/9 = 1 and 2/3

c. (-4x) / 5 = 8

-4x = 40

x = -10

d. x / 3 - 1/2 = 1/4

4x - 6 = 3 (multiply by lcm of 3, 2 and 4 which is 12)

4x = 9

x = 9/4 = 2 and 1 / 4

e. -4(6x + 1) + 3 = 11 + 2(x + 2)

-24x - 4 + 3 = 11 + 2x + 4

-24x - 1 = 2x + 15

-26x = 16

x = -8/13
