Negative one times the sum of twice a number and 3 is equal to two times the difeerence of -4 times the number and 3. what is the number

Negative one times the sum of twice a number and 3. -1 * (2x + 3)

Two times the difference of -4 times the number and 3. 2 (-4x - 3)

-1 * (2x + 3) = 2 (-4x - 3)

As we have constructed the equation by following the statements now it is pretty easy to solve the equation further.

Now solving it gives us -2x - 3 = -8x -6. 6x = -3. So x = -1/2.

answer: first option i.e. 'a' is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

number of minutes to wrap a small gift box = 4 minutes

we need to find the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes

since there is a direct variation, as the number of minutes will increase with   number of gifts to be wrapped.

so, let the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes be x.

so, it becomes,

hence, first option 'a'   is correct.

1. 180°. the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°, for the equilateral triangle that it has three equals side is 60°+60°+60°=180°.

2. 60°. each interior angle of a equilateral triangle is 60°

3. 120°. the measure of ∠m is 120°, the sum of the angles ∠m and ∠n is equal to 180°. so, in order to find the measure of ∠m, we have ∠m+∠n=180° > ∠m=180°-∠n > ∠m=180°-60°=120°.

4. 360°. the sum of the exterior angles of an equilateral triangle is ∠m+∠r+∠x=120°+120°+120°=360°. the exterior angles of any triangle always add 360°.
