Question

directions: solve each algebraic equation. type your answer in the answer space provided. click the yellow \home\ icon to return to the home screen. 4. -5(x + 2) = -2(8x + 1) 5. \frac{1}{3}(3x + 12) = - (4x + 3)

Explanation:

Step1: Expand both sides (Q4)

$-5x - 10 = -16x - 2$

Step2: Isolate x terms (Q4)

$-5x + 16x = -2 + 10$

Step3: Simplify to solve x (Q4)

$11x = 8$
$x = \frac{8}{11}$

Step1: Expand both sides (Q5)

$x + 4 = -4x - 3$

Step2: Isolate x terms (Q5)

$x + 4x = -3 - 4$

Step3: Simplify to solve x (Q5)

$5x = -7$
$x = -\frac{7}{5}$

Answer:

For equation 4: $x = \frac{8}{11}$
For equation 5: $x = -\frac{7}{5}$
