Please show work 3[x+4]+4x= -2

  x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you eliminate parentheses using the distributive property.

  3(x +4) +4x = -2

  3x +12 +4x = -2

Then you collect terms.

  7x +12 = -2

You can subtract 12 (from both sides).

  7x = -14

Finally, divide by the coefficient of the variable.

 x = -14/7 = -2

The solution is x = -2.

Comment on the work

When you add, subtract, multiply, divide, or perform any other operation on one side of the equation, you must do the same thing on the other side. That is how the equal sign stays valid. That is why we subtracted 12 from both sides of the equation. It is also why we divided both sides of the equation by 7.

Those steps, subtract 12, divide by 7, are chosen for the purpose of getting the x-term by itself, then getting by itself. In general, when there's an added term you don't want, add its opposite to both sides of the equation. When there's a factor you don't want, divide both sides of the equation by that.

answer: 38.47 is your answer

step-by-step explanation: hope i you and who ever sees this answer have a great rest of your day : )

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
