You have to distribute the 4 to the numbers in the parenthesese. So 4 times 3x which is 12x and 4 times 5 which is 20 so now you get 12x plus 20 equals 8. Now you have to subtract 20 from 8 which is -12 so now you have 12x=-12 now divide the 12 from x and 12 from -12 and so now you have x=-1
Answer:
x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
-9x+1=-x+17
Add 9x on both sides:
1=8x+17
Subtract 17 on both sides:
-16=8x
Divide both sides by 8:
-2=x
Check x=-2!
-9x+1=-x+17 with x=-2
-9(-2)+1=-(-2)+17
18+1=2+17
19=19
19=19 is a true equation so x=-2 is correct.
Assuming that <span>4^2-6(2^x)-16=0 is correct, we can rearrange it as:
</span><span>-6(2^x) + 4^2 - 16=0
Are you sure it's not </span>6(2^x) + 4^2 - 16=0 ?
If 6(2^x) + 4^2 - 16=0 is correct, then
6(2^x) + 4^2 - 16=16 - 16 = 0, that is, 6(2^x) = 0. Then x = 0 (answer)
Answer: The solution is k = -171.92.
