Answer:

Answer A is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 15 + 2x = 24 + 4x

Take 4x to left side.

5x + 15 + 2x - 4x = 24

Take 15 to right side.

5x + 2x - 4x = 24 - 15

Combine like terms.

3x = 9

Divide both sides by 3.

x = 3

Answer:

A. x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+15 + 2x = 24 +4x

7x+15=24+4x

7x+15-15=24+4x-15

7x=4x+9

7x-4x=4x+9-4x

3x=9

3x/3=9/3

x=3

We break all the bracket out :

-0.75 + 2/5 + 0.4 - 3/4

2/5 = 0.4
-3/4 = -0.75
So, we have : -0.75 + 0.4 + 0.4 - 0.75
= (-0.75 - 0.75) + (0.4 + 0.4) = -1.5 + 0.8 = -0.7

Consider the following system of equations.

Sidana [21]

Y = 6x - 6 therefore y - 6x = -6
y - 6x = 5
so:
-6 ≠ 5
There is no solution to this system.
==========================
$\left \{ {{y=6x-6} \atop {y-6x=5}} \right. \\ \left \{ {{6x-y=6} \atop {-6x+y=5 }} \right. \\ 0 \neq 11$
