Which is the best estimate of x based on rounding the constants and coefficients in the equation to the nearest integer 6.15 (x
artcher [175]
Your answer would be x = 12.41 

6.15 (x - 8.86) = 21.83
      *6.15 * 6.15

6.15x - 54.49 = 21.83
         + 54.49  + 54.49

6.15x = 76.32
/6.15    /6.15

x = 12.41

Simplify 18 - 2[x + (x - 5)].
MissTica
18 - 2[x + (x-5)]
First I would get rid of the inside parenthesis by distributing the + to everything inside and end up with;

18 - 2[x + x - 5]
Then I'd combine like terms inside the brackets
18 - 2[2x - 5]
Then I'd multiply what is inside the brackets by the -2
18 - 4x + 10
I'd combine like terms and end up with:

28 - 4x......or rewritten as -4x + 28
