An equilateral triangle has a side length represented by the expression 4x + 3. Equilateral means that all three sides of the triangle are the same. If the perimeter is 189 inches, write an equation using the distributive property that you could solve the find the value of "x".

Solve the equation:

4(2x - 7) = -4

• x = -3

• x = 4

• x = 3/8

• x = 3

Solve the equation:

5(6 - x) = 12.5

• x = -8.5

• x = 3.5

• x = -17.5

• x = -3.5

Solve the equation:

10(2x - 5) = -60

• x = -3.5

• x = -0.5

• x = -2.75

• x = 0.5

Match the following equation to its answer. Solve EACH equation showing all work.

• x = -16

• • - (28 - 4x) = -92

• x = 6

• x = 12

• 8(6 + 4x) = -176

• x = -7

• -4(8 - 3x) = 112
