-4x + -4 = -7(x + 4)
~ Reorder the terms:
-4 + -4x = -7(x + 4)
~ Reorder the terms:
-4 + -4x = -7(4 + x)
-4 + -4x = (4 * -7 + x * -7)
-4 + -4x = (-28 + -7x)
~ Solving
-4 + -4x = -28 + -7x
~ Solving for variable 'x'.
~ Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
~ Add '7x' to each side of the equation.
-4 + -4x + 7x = -28 + -7x + 7x
~ Combine like terms: -4x + 7x = 3x
-4 + 3x = -28 + -7x + 7x
~ Combine like terms: -7x + 7x = 0
-4 + 3x = -28 + 0
-4 + 3x = -28
~ Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + 4 + 3x = -28 + 4
~ Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + 3x = -28 + 4
3x = -28 + 4
~ Combine like terms: -28 + 4 = -24
3x = -24
~ Divide each side by '3'.
x = -8
~ Simplifying
x = -8
Answer:

Answer:
x=11
Step-by-step explanation:
5x+13=9x-31
subtract 9 from both sides.
-4x+13=-31
you want to isolate the x value so subtract 13 from both sides.
-4x=-44
now divide both sides by -4.
x=11
Given:
40 pages in 1.6 minutes
40 / 1.6 = 25 pages per minute
25 x 5 minutes = 125 pages
40 / 1.6 = x / 5
40*5 = 1.6x
200 = 1.6x
200/1.6 = x
125 = x pages
25 : 1 = 150 : x
25x = 150
x = 150/25
x = 6 minutes
