The given expression is

$7-2(x-5)+3x$

First, we use the distributive property to get rid of the parenthesis.

$7-2x+10+3x$

Then, we reduce like terms. -2x and 3x are like terms, also 7 and 10 are like terms.

$3x-2x+10+7=x+17$ <h2>Therefore, the simplest form of the given expression is x + 17.</h2>

The ratio of small apartments to regular ones is 18:7

To get the percentage that is small, we have to express the number of small houses when compared to the total available apartments. (Note: not the regular ones) as a percentage.

This will be (18/25) X 100 = 72%

Therefore, 72 percent of the total houses are small

HELP?? If one is added to a number and the sum is tripled the result is 19 more then the number. Find the number. Um?

Viefleur [7K]

<h3>The value of x is equal to 8.</h3>

3(x + 1) = 19 + x

Distributive property.

3x + 3 = 19 + x

Subtract x from both sides.

2x + 3 = 19

Subtract 3 from both sides.

2x = 16

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 8
