Solve the equation below for X
1/3(-x + 3) = -x - 4

Solve the equation below for X

1/3(-x + 3) = -x - 4

x = -15/2 = -7.500

Work~~

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    1/3*(-x+3)-(-x-4)=0

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction

3.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  3  as the denominator :

             -x - 4     (-x - 4) • 3

   -x - 4 =  ——————  =  ————————————

               1             3      

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Pulling out like terms

4.1     Pull out like factors :

  -x - 4  =   -1 • (x + 4)

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

4.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

(3-x) - ((-x-4) • 3)     2x + 15

When a fraction equals zero :

5.1    When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

 2x+15

 ————— • 3 = 0 • 3

   3  

Now, on the left hand side, the  3  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

  2x+15  = 0

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

5.2      Solve  :    2x+15 = 0

Subtract  15  from both sides of the equation :

                     2x = -15

Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

                    x = -15/2 = -7.500

One solution was found :

x = -15/2 = -7.500

2x^2+5x+17

your welcome. : )

c: y > - 1/6x + 1

step-by-step explanation:

dashed line - meaning this < or > also not equal

solid line - meaning this < or > also equal

your answer is c because y > means up & it's shaded up, but y < means down

hope this ! : )
