4(5x - 2) = 2 (9x + 3) what is the answer?

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable (x). Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Remember to follow PEMDAS.

First, distribute 4 to all terms within the parenthesis it's connected to (5x & 2), as well as 2 to all terms within the parenthesis it's connected to (9x & 3).

4(5x - 2) = 4(5x) - 4(2) = 20x - 8

2(9x + 3) = 2(9x) + 2(3) = 18x + 6

20x - 8 = 18x + 6

Isolate the variable (x). Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Add 8 & subtract 18x from both sides

20x (-18x) - 8 (+8) = 18x (-18x) + 6 (+8)

20x - 18x = 6 + 8

2x = 14

Isolate the variable (x). Divide 2 from both sides.

(2x)/2 = (14)/2

x = 14/2

x = 7

7 is your answer for x.

6,250

step-by-step explanation:

to get the area, multiply 360 by 160.(57,600)

to find out how many bags of fertilizer it will take, first figure out how many square feet one bag can hold. divide 1000 by 8(125) to get the unit rate(how many square feet one pound of fertilizer can hold)and multiply it by 50(6250). if i haven't made a mistake, that is the answer.
