Answer:
Part A) x = -3
Part B) x = 1, x = -7
Part C) x < -7
Part D) 2
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x - 3) = 3x - 3
open the parenthesis
2 * x - 2 * 3 = 3x - 3
2x - 6 = 3x - 3
subtract 2x from both sides
2x - 2x - 6 = 3x - 2x - 3
-6 = x - 3
add 3 to both sides
-6 + 3 = x
-3 = x
|2x + 6| = 8
split this into two equations:
2x + 6 = 8
&
2x + 6 = -8
2x + 6 = 8
2x = 8-6
2x = 2
x = 1
2x + 6 = -8
2x = -8 - 6
2x = -14
x = -7
-5(x + 1) > 30
open the parenthesis
-5x - 5 > 30
add 5 to both sides
-5x > 35
divide both sides by -5
x > -7
since you divided by a negative, flip the sign.
x < -7
f(x) = 4x - 3
substitute x for 5
5 = 4x - 3
5 + 3 = 4x
8 = 4x
2 = x
