Question

-5(x+4) + -3x + -9x+-7

Answer 1

x - 27

Explanation:

Our goal here is to solve for x.

Start by performing the indicated multiplication:

-5(x+4) + -3x + -9x+-7 => -5x - 20 - 3x + 9x - 7

Combine like terms: x - 27

Answer 2

`-5(x+4) + -3x + -9x+-7`

`\longmapsto -5\left(x+4\right)+\left(-3\right)x+\left(-9\right)x+\left(-7\right)`

`\longmapsto -5\left(x+4\right)-3x-9x-7`

`\longmapsto -5(x+4)=-5x-20`

`\longmapsto -5x-20-3x-9x-7`

`\longmapsto =-17x-27`

`ANSWER:=-17x-27`
