4(3x+5)= -4 How do you find the answer? Like the steps. You cannot divided both sides by 4, we have to find another way using the distributive property.

Answer/explanation

4(3x+5)=-4

You will distribute the four to every term in the parenthesis,

12x+20=-4

Then you will combine like terms

12x+20=-4

     -20  -20

12x=-24

Then you will divide 12 to isolate x

Obviously, -24 cancels out and you would get x=-2

answer: option a.

step-by-step explanation:

you know that the quadrilateral opqr ( a four sided figure) is inscribed in circle. this means that all its vertices are on the circle.

then, by definition, the opposite angles of the quadrilateral are supplementary, this means that the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.

you can observe in the figure that the angles ∠opq   and the angle ∠orq   are opposite, therefore:

then, can be used to d to calculate the measure of ∠opq

36 girls

step-by-step explanation:

the 48 boys is 4 parts of the ratio

divide 48 by 4 to obtain one part of the ratio

= 12 ← 1 part of the ratio

3 parts = 3 × 12 = 36 ← number of girls
