What is the solution to the following question

Mathematics
1 answer:
Anastaziya [24]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x + 1) = 3(5 - x) + 2

Distribute,

2(x + 1) = 3(5 - x) + 2

2x + 2 = 3(5 - x) + 2

Rearrange terms,

2x + 2 = 3(5 - x) + 2

2x + 2 = 3(-x + 5) + 2

Distribute,

2x + 2 = 3(-x + 5) + 2

2x + 2 = -3x + 15 + 2

Add the numbers,

2x + 2 = -3x + 15 + 2

2x + 2 = -3x + 17

Subtract 2 from both sides,

2x + 2 = -3x + 17

2x + 2 - 2 = -3x + 17 - 2

2x  = -3x + 17 - 2

2x  = -3x + 15

Add 3x to both sides,

2x  = -3x + 15

2x + 3x  = -3x + 3x + 15

5x  = -3x + 3x + 15

5x  =  15

Divide both sides by the same factor (15),

5x  =  15

5x/5 = 15/5

x = 15/5

x = 3

Hence, the answer is 3.

Vesna [10]
The answer would be 0


Reminder: when you see “-(-“ always think of plus sign “+.” (My teacher in middle school taught me that). So, -3+3 would be that the answer is 0.

A bus as speed of 20m/s begin to slow at constant acceleration of 8.00m/s2 along a straight line find the average speed for the
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

-20 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the average speed is shown below:

Given that

The initial velocity of the bus, u = 20 m/s

Aceleration of the bus, -a = 8 m/s²

time of motion, t = 5 s

Now The final velocity of the bus is  

v = u + at

v = 20 + (-8 × 5)

v = 20 - 40

v = -20 m/s.

A farmer examines a sample of 25 cartons of eggs and finds that 3 contains cracked eggs. What is the best prediction of the numb
sertanlavr [38]
I believe it's C) 60 because ideally it would be 3 for every 25, 20 x 25 = 200, so then you would do 3 x 20 = 60

Solve the system by elimination <br> 2x+6y= -12 <br> 5x-5y= -10
kvv77 [185]
First thing you should do is reduce coefficients.

1st equation has all multiples of '2'. Divide by 2
---> x +3y = -6

2nd equation has multiples of 5. Divide by 5.
---> x - y = 2

Now elimination part is easier. 
Eliminate 'x' variable by subtracting 2nd equation from 1st.

   x + 3y = -6
-(x  - y = 2)
----------------------
       4y  = -8

Solve for 'y'
4y = -8

y = (-8)/4 = -2


Substitute value for 'y' back into 2nd equation:
x - (-2) = 2
x + 2 = 2
x = 0

Solution to system is:
x=0, y =-2
