If 4x + 3x - 2(x + 5) = -9, then x = ?
A-12
B
C
Is
D
213
E
"15

the answer is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. first you need to take -2 and use the distributive property on (x + 5). when you do that you should get -2x -10.

2. 2nd then your equation should look like 4x + 3x -2x -10 = -9.  so after you get this equation you then add 4x + 3x. you should get 7x and your equation should look like 7x -2x -10 = -9.

3. 3rd the next step is to take 7x and subtract it from -2x. when you get dont doing this you should get 5x and then your equation will look like 5x -10 = -9.

4. 4th now we need to get all the normal numbers to one side. so you will add a positive 10 to the negative 10. when you do that the numbers cancel out. you have to do this to both sides. so you will add a positive 10 to the negative 9 and you should get positive 1. when you complete this step your equation should look like 5x = 1.

5. 5th you take 5x and divide it by 1 and you should get 5. 5 is your answer.

hope this helped!

p.s it would be cool if you gave me brainliest.

-1/2 +2

step-by-step explanation:

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98

step-by-step explanation:

given a united states citizen returning to the states declares the following items at the customs office: 3 shirts at $8.50 each 2 dresses at $27.50 each 1 pair of gold cuff links at $17.50 per pair. we have to find how much he pay

cost of 3 shirts if one cost at $8.50 is

cost of 2 dresses if one cost at $27.50 is  

cost of 1 pair of gold cuff at $17.50

so, total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is   $25.5+$55+$17.50=$98
