If you are just simplifying it it would be 6x because it's 5x plus one more x but if you are trying to find x then I have no idea
Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
18 min per pound
324 min. = X
______ _____
18 1 pound
324 x 1 = 324 324/18= 18 pounds
Cross multiply then divide as above.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
[...] if you can write the LHS as a perfect square, or if you can't spot a factorization of it right away, if and only if the discriminant
(or, if b is an even number, 1/4 of it) is zero.
<u>I see it! I see it!</u>
Stare at it for a while. First term is
, third term is
, we are missing a double product, but we can play with k. For the LHS to be
you just need
.
<u>I don't see it...</u>
Then number crunching it is. Set the discriminant to 0, solve for k

Equation 1) 10x + 2y = 30
Equation 2) 4x + y = 4
Multiply all of equation 2 by 2.
2) 2(4x + y = 4)
2) 8x + 2y = 8
1) 10x + 2y = 30
Subtract equations from each other.
-2x = -22
Divide both sides by -2.
x = -22/-2
x = 11
B) x = 11
