Solve for x: 3(x + 1) = −2(x − 1) − 4. (1 point)

X=2.5 (btw im a rising 5th grader just saying) i hope i helped u

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+3=-2x+2-4      (get rid of the parenthesis)

+2x      +2x             (get rid of 2x)

5x+3=2-4

+4       +4                (get rid of 4)

5x+7=2

-7    -7                      (get rid of 7)

5x=2

5/2=2.5                   (solve)

answer: a and b

step-by-step explanation:

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
