You distribute -4 to each in the parentheses then you get -24 - 4b = 4 then you add 24 on both sides and get -4b = 28 then you divide each side by -4 and it equals -7
Answer:
Total no. of houses = 140
Step-by-step explanation:
Let there are 9x flats and 5x bungalows.
Total bungalows = 50
It means,
5x = 50
x = 10
No of flats = 9x
= 9(10)
= 90
Total houses = no. of flats + no. of bungalows
= 50+90
= 140
So, there are 140 houses in the village.
