Question

What is the value of the expression 4(3 − ) + 5( − 2) for = −3?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming that you've left x at a position.

We've: 4(3-x) + 5(-2) = -3

12 - 4x + (-10) = -3

12 - 4x - 10 = -3

12 - 10 -4x = -3

2 - 4x = -3

-4x = -3 -2

-4x = -5

x = (-5/-4)

x = 5/4 = 1.25.
