Example: Solve 3(x + 5) + 4 = 1 – 2(x + 6).

3(x + 5) + 4 = 1 – 2(x + 6) Original equation

3x + 15 + 4 = 1 – 2x – 12 Simplify.
3x + 19 = – 2x – 11 Simplify.
3x = – 2x – 30 Subtract 19.
5x = – 30 Add 2x.
x = 6 Divide by 5.
The solution is  6.

3(– 6 + 5) + 4 = 1 – 2(– 6 + 6) Check.

3(– 1) + 4 = 1 – 2(0)

The perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W , where L is the
length and W is the width.
 
100 = 2 w + 20 + 2w

100 = 2w + 40 + 2w

100 = 4w + 40
100 ft = Perimeter, P 60 = 4w

Let w = width, W 15 = w

(w + 20) = length, L w + 20 = 35
The perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W , where L is the
length and W is the width.
b. If the perimeter is 100 ft and
the length
is 20 ft more than the width,
what are
the dimensions of the
rectangle?

The dimensions are 15 ft by 35 ft .

100 ft = Perimeter, P
Let w = width, W w = 15
(w + 20) = length, L w + 20 = 35
