1.) Solve for x:
5 x + 7 = 3 x + 21

Subtract 3 x from both sides:
(5 x - 3 x) + 7 = (3 x - 3 x) + 21

5 x - 3 x = 2 x:
2 x + 7 = (3 x - 3 x) + 21

3 x - 3 x = 0:
2 x + 7 = 21

Subtract 7 from both sides:
2 x + (7 - 7) = 21 - 7

7 - 7 = 0:
2 x = 21 - 7

21 - 7 = 14:
2 x = 14

Divide both sides of 2 x = 14 by 2:
(2 x)/2 = 14/2

2/2 = 1:
x = 14/2

The gcd of 14 and 2 is 2, so 14/2 = (2×7)/(2×1) = 2/2×7 = 7:
Answer: x = 7

2.) Solve for x:
3 x - 2 (5 - x) = 3 x - 3 (x - 10)

-2 (5 - x) = 2 x - 10:
2 x - 10 + 3 x = 3 x - 3 (x - 10)

Grouping like terms, 3 x + 2 x - 10 = (3 x + 2 x) - 10:
(3 x + 2 x) - 10 = 3 x - 3 (x - 10)

3 x + 2 x = 5 x:
5 x - 10 = 3 x - 3 (x - 10)

-3 (x - 10) = 30 - 3 x:
5 x - 10 = 30 - 3 x + 3 x

3 x - 3 x = 0:
5 x - 10 = 30

Add 10 to both sides:
5 x + (10 - 10) = 10 + 30

10 - 10 = 0:
5 x = 30 + 10

30 + 10 = 40:
5 x = 40

Divide both sides of 5 x = 40 by 5:
(5 x)/5 = 40/5

5/5 = 1:
x = 40/5

The gcd of 40 and 5 is 5, so 40/5 = (5×8)/(5×1) = 5/5×8 = 8:

Answer: x = 8

3.) Solve for x:
5 (x + 1) = 3 (2 x + 3) + 5

3 (2 x + 3) = 6 x + 9:
5 (x + 1) = 6 x + 9 + 5

Grouping like terms, 6 x + 5 + 9 = 6 x + (9 + 5):
5 (x + 1) = 6 x + (9 + 5)

9 + 5 = 14:
5 (x + 1) = 6 x + 14

Expand out terms of the left hand side:
5 x + 5 = 6 x + 14

Subtract 6 x from both sides:
(5 x - 6 x) + 5 = (6 x - 6 x) + 14

5 x - 6 x = -x:
-x + 5 = (6 x - 6 x) + 14

6 x - 6 x = 0:
5 - x = 14

Subtract 5 from both sides:
(5 - 5) - x = 14 - 5

5 - 5 = 0:
-x = 14 - 5

14 - 5 = 9:
-x = 9

Multiply both sides of -x = 9 by -1:
(-x)/(-1) = -9
(-1)/(-1) = 1:

Answer: x = -9

Write an equation that indicates you can spend exactly 45 per day for rental fees

9966 [12]

Answer:

An equation that indicates you can spend exactly $45 per day for rental fees is, $y=45x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the days and y represents total the rental fees.

As per the statement:

you can spend exactly $45 per day for rental fees.

In 1 day you spend = $45 rental fees.

then

in x days = 45 x

we have to find an equation that indicates you can spend exactly $45 per day for rental fees

since, y represents the total rental fees,.

⇒ y= 45x

Therefore, an equation that indicates you can spend exactly $45 per day for rental fees is, $y=45x$

The length of the longer leg of a right triangle is 4 inches more than twice the length of the shorter leg. the length of the hy

Serjik [45]

The Pythagorean's Theorem for our situation would look like this:

$shortleg^2+longleg^2=hypotenuse^2$

So let's call the short leg s, the long leg l and the hypotenuse h. It appears that all our measurements are based on the measurement of the short leg. The long leg is 4 more than twice the short leg, so that expression is l=2s+4; the hypotenuse measure is 6 more than twice the short leg, so that expression is h=2s+6. And the short leg is just s. Now we can rewrite our formula accordingly:

$s^2+(2s+4)^2=(2s+6)^2$

And of course we have to expand. Doing that will leave us with

$s^2+4s^2+8s+8s+16=4s^2+12s+12s+36$

Combining like terms we have

$5s^2+16s+16=4s^2+24s+36$

Our job now is to get everything on one side of the equals sign and solve for s

$s^2-8s-20=0$

That is now a second degree polynomial, a quadratic to be exact, and it can be factored several different ways. The easiest is to figure what 2 numbers add to be -8 and multiply to be -20. Those numbers would be 10 and -2. Since we are figuring out the length of the sides, AND we know that the two things in math that will never EVER be negative are time and distance/length, -2 is not an option. That means that the short side, s, measures 10. The longer side, 2s+4, measures 2(10)+4 which is 24, and the hypotenuse, 2s+6, measures 2(10)+6 which is 26. So there you go!
