Question

-3x - 8 =-21

Supply the correct numbers to complete the solution.

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve the equation -3x - 8 = -21, we can isolate the variable x by adding 8 to both sides of the equation:

-3x - 8 + 8 = -21 + 8
-3x = -13

Next, divide both sides of the equation by -3 to solve for x:

(-3x) / -3 = (-13) / -3
x = 13/3

So, the solution to the equation is x = 13/3.

Answer 2

replace the 8 with 9

Answer 3

To solve the equation -3x - 9 = -21, we can isolate the variable x by adding 9 to both sides of the equation:

-3x - 9 + 9 = -21 + 9
-3x = -12

Next, divide both sides of the equation by -3 to solve for x:

(-3x) / -3 = (-12) / -3
x = 4

So, the solution to the equation is x = 4.

Answer 4

same thing just different equation.

10x + 13 =-12

Answer 5

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve the equation 10x + 13 = -12, we can isolate the variable x by subtracting 13 from both sides of the equation:

10x + 13 - 13 = -12 - 13
10x = -25

Next, divide both sides of the equation by 10 to solve for x:

(10x) / 10 = (-25) / 10
x = -2.5

So, the solution to the equation is x = -2.5.

Answer 6

5 - 6x = -7

Answer 7

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve the equation 5 - 6x = -7, we can isolate the variable x by subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation:

5 - 6x - 5 = -7 - 5
-6x = -12

Next, divide both sides of the equation by -6 to solve for x:

(-6x) / -6 = (-12) / -6
x = 2

So, the solution to the equation is x = 2.

Answer 8

same thing just dif numbers

5/3 + 11/3= - 4/3

then

0.24x - 0.74 = -1.1

Answer 9

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve the equation 0.24x - 0.74 = -1.1, we can isolate the variable x by adding 0.74 to both sides of the equation:

0.24x - 0.74 + 0.74 = -1.1 + 0.74
0.24x = -0.36

Next, divide both sides of the equation by 0.24 to solve for x:

(0.24x) / 0.24 = (-0.36) / 0.24
x = -1.5

So, the solution to the equation is x = -1.5.

Answer 10

5/3x + 11/3 = -4/3

Answer 11

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve the equation (5/3)x + 11/3 = -4/3, we can first eliminate the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by 3:

3 * [(5/3)x + 11/3] = 3 * (-4/3)
5x + 11 = -4

Next, isolate the variable x by subtracting 11 from both sides of the equation:

5x + 11 - 11 = -4 - 11
5x = -15

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 5 to solve for x:

(5x) / 5 = (-15) / 5
x = -3

So, the solution to the equation is x = -3.
