4(1 - x) + 2 x= -3( x + 1)

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

4 (1 - x) + 2 x = -3 (x + 1)

4 (1 - x) = 4 - 4 x:

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

2 x - 4 x = -2 x:

-2 x + 4 = -3 (x + 1)

Expand out terms of the right hand side:

4 - 2 x = -3 x - 3

Add 3 x to both sides:

3 x - 2 x + 4 = (3 x - 3 x) - 3

3 x - 3 x = 0:

3 x - 2 x + 4 = -3

3 x - 2 x = x:

x + 4 = -3

Subtract 4 from both sides:

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

4 - 4 = 0:

x = -4 - 3

-4 - 3 = -7:

 x = -7

answer: all of the odd numbers were opened

the first person was the one that was opening all of the lockers. since one is odd, this causes all of the odd number lockers to be opened in the end.

the ratio of balloons to tables is 5: 2 and the constant variation is 5.

the equation is y=5x
