Solve for x: 2(3x + 4) - 3(x - 1) = x - 1  ​

x=-113

Step-by-step explanation:

2(3x+4)−3(x−1)=x−1x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(3x+4)−3(x−1)=x−1x

(2)(3x)+(2)(4)+(−3)(x)+(−3)(−1)=x+−1x(Distribute)

6x+8+−3x+3=x+−x

(6x+−3x)+(8+3)=(x+−x)(Combine Like Terms)

3x+11=0

3x+11=0

Step 2: Subtract 11 from both sides.

3x+11−11=0−11

3x=−11

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

3x3=−113

x=−113

x=−113

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
