Question

If x = 2, then which of the following equations makes a TRUE statement?

a.4x + 9 = 20
b.-4x + 5 = -3
c.-3x + 15 = 21
d.5x – 15 = 5

Answer 1

Answer is B

Explanation: −4x + 5= −3

1. Subtract 5 from both sides −4x +5 −5 = −3 −5

2. You remain with this −4x = −8

3. Divide both side by -4. -4x/-4 = -8/-4

4. Answer will be x = 2

Answer 2

B becasue -4x2=-8 then you do -8+5=8-5=3 then you look at the bigger number which is -8 so then the answer takes the bigger numbers integer weather is a positive or negative so your answer would be -3
