Solve and check the following equation using inverse operations. -20 = 5 ( x + 1)

you must show all work.

First, multiply 5 • x, which is 5x. Then, multiply 5 • 1, which is 5. Now you have the equation 5x + 5 = -20. Now, subtract 5 from +5 and do the same to the -20, which gets you -25. Now divide -25 by 5, which is -5. Therefor, x= -5. Check by multiplying -5 • 5, which is -25. Then add -25 + 5, which is 20 and you now know your answer is correct.

Final x = -5

-20 = 5(x + 1)

-20 = 5x + 5

-5. -5

-25. = 5x

5. 5

(-5 = x)

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions

the answer is 0.000652422

but if you ment to ask what is 6131 divided by 4, it is 1532.75.
