Question

What is...

1. 4x = -36
2. 5x - 15 = 50
3. 4(x + 2) - 17 = 35
4. 6x + 12 = 4x - 18
5. 1/2 (4x - 10) + 5 = x - 11

Answer 1

Explanation:

1Ans: 4x = -36

× = -36/4

× = -9

2Ans: 5x -15 = 50

5x = 50 + 15

5x = 65

x = 65/5

x = 13

3Ans: 4(x + 2) -17 = 35

4x +8 -17 = 35

4x -9 = 35

4x = 35 +9

4x = 44

x = 44/4

x = 11

4Ans: 6x +12 = 4x -18

6x -4x = -18 -12

+2x = -30

x = -30/+2

x = -15

5Ans: 1/2 (4x -10) +5 = x -11

0.5 (4x -10) +5 = x -11

2x -5 +5 = x -11

2x = x -11

2x - x = -11

1x = -11

x = -11/1

x = -11
