I think that it is the first line. I am not really sure what the question is asking so I may be wrong. Sorry if I can’t help
Option A
<u>Answer:
</u>
The value of x in the equation 2(x - 3) + 5x = 5(2x + 6) is -12
<u>Solution:
</u>
From question given that
2(x - 3) + 5x = 5(2x + 6)
Open the brackets,
2x – 6 + 5x = 10x + 30
Rewrite the above equation,
2x + 5x – 6 = 10x + 30
On simplifying the above equation, we get
7x – 6 = 10x + 30
Now adding 6 on both sides,
7x – 6 + 6 =10x + 30 + 6
7x = 10x + 36
On subtracting 10x on both sides,
7x - 10x = 10x + 36 - 10x
-3x = 36
On dividing -3 on both sides,
x = -12
Hence on simplifying 2(x - 3) + 5x = 5(2x + 6) we get value of x is -12. Hence Option (A) is correct.
The answer should be true
x=-3, y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equations are:
2x-3y=-9 Eqn 1
x+y = - 2 Eqn 2
From eqn 2:

Putting x=-y-2 in eqn 1

Hence,
x=-3, y=1

Step-by-step explanation:
$15 initial fee. $2 per hour. $35 limit.
35 - 15 = 20
After the initial fee, he has $20 left.
20 ÷ 2 = 10
He can rent the metal detector for 10 hours.
