Answer:

2(x + 5) = x - 2

⟹ x = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

Doubling the sum of 5 and a number is equal to the same number decreased by 2. What is the equation?

This word problem can be written as:

⟹ 2(x + 5) = x - 2

1. Distribute:

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

⟹ 2x + 10 = x - 2

2. Subtract x from both sides:

2x - x + 10 = x - x - 2

⟹ x + 10 = -2

3. Subtract 10 from both sides:

x + 10 - 10 = -2 - 10

⟹ x = -12

4. Check your work:

2(x + 5) = x - 2

2(-12 + 5) = -12 - 2

2(-7) = -20

⟹ -14 = -14 ✔

Need help with 9(c) plzzz
MAVERICK [17]
Since we are given the values for both rows only in the second column, we can use this to solve for the rest of the missing values. Simply divide 3 by 2.49 and multiply that resultant by and multiply that by any missing value for cookies to find the missing cost. In order to solve for the cookies when cost is given, divide 2.49 by 3 and multiply that resultant. I will solve for the first, third, and fourth columns.

3/29=1.2
For column 1, 1.2*1=1.20
For column 3, 1.2*20=24.10
For column 4, 1.2*100=12.00

The yearly cost in dollars, y, at a video game arcade based on total game tokens purchased, x, is y = x + 60 for a member and y
morpeh [17]
<span>We have the yearly cost in dollars y at a video game arcade based on total game tokens purchased x. So we know that:

</span>y=x+60:\ equation \ for \ a \ member<span>

</span>y=x:\ equation \ for \ a \ nonmember<span>
</span><span>
Then we can study this problem by using the graph in the figure below. We know that if there's no any purchase, the yearly cost for a member will be $60 and for a nonmember there will not be any cost. From this, we can affirm that the cost of membership is equal to $60.

On the other hand, both members and nonmembers will pay the same price on the total game tokens purchased, this is true because of the same slope that members and nonmembers have in the equations.</span>

Is1/10 and 3/33 epuivalant
sveta [45]
3/33 can be reduced to 1/11 by dividing by 3 on the top and bottom.
1/11 is not equal to 1/10. Although they have the same numerator or number on top, 1, they don't have the same number in the bottom. 
So they are not equivalent.
Hope this helps.
