Answer 2

enough with the homework dump, okay?

Answer 3

15 x - 25 - 4 = 4 - 25 x +15

40 x = 48
x = 1.2

5(3.6 -5) - 4 ??= ?? 4 - 5 (6 - 3)
-11 ?? = 4-15 = -11 yes :)

To solve for x, we will first distribute the terms inside the parentheses on both sides of the equation.

On the left side, we have:

5(3x - 5) - 4 = 15x - 25 - 4 = 15x - 29

On the right side, we have:

4 - 5(5x - 3) = 4 - 25x + 15 = -25x + 19

Now we can simplify the equation:

15x - 29 = -25x + 19

To isolate the x term on one side, we can add 25x to both sides:

15x + 25x - 29 = 25x - 25x + 19
40x - 29 = 19

Next, we can add 29 to both sides:

40x - 29 + 29 = 19 + 29
40x = 48

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 40 to solve for x:

x = 48/40

Simplifying the fraction, we get:

x = 12/10

To express this as a decimal, divide 12 by 10:

x ≈ 1.2

Therefore, the solution for x is approximately 1.2.
