Solve for x. −5x−4(x−6)=−3 enter your answer in the box. x =

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

−5x−4(x−6)=−3

To solve for x:

for this we have to make the equation in such a way that the variable x lies on the left side and constant terms on the right side.

First distribute -4 over x and -6

We get -4x+24.

Substitute in the equation.

-5x-4x+24 =-3

Subtract 24 from both the sides

-5x-4x = -3-24

Or =9x = -27

Divide by -9

X = 3

-5x -4(x-6) = -3

distribute

-5x -4x+24 = -3

combine like terms

-9x +24 = -3

subtract 24 from each side

-9x = -27

divide by -9

x = 3

step-by-step explanation:

the orientation of the parabolas can easily be found by analysing the power of x and y and their signs. if x is squared , parabola opens up and also if its coefficient is negative it opens down. if y is squared , the parabola opens right and also if its coefficient is negative it opens left. however in order to do the above analysis our equation must be in standard form .

our parabola is

which is not standard form of any parabola . hence we square on both hand side and convert it into standard form.

hence we see that x is squared and its coefficient is non negative . there for it opens up.
