Notice how on both sides of the equation there is one coefficient (number being multiplied by x) and a constant (just a plain number). You want all constants to be on one side and all coefficients on the other. He’s how do to that:
2x+14=-21-5
I am choosing that all constants will be on the right side, so I will do the inverse operation of any constant on the left side to remove it. Here, a constant on the left side is 14. I will subtract 14 from both sides of the equation. Positive 14 minus 14 is zero, so it cancels out and removes it.
2x+14-14 = -21-5x
2x = -35-5x
See how the 14 is now gone? The equation looks much simpler now. Okay next, you can see that there is a coefficient on the “constant side” that I’ve chosen, so I am going to remove that. Negative 5 plus positive 5 equals zero. Do this on both sides of the equation.
2x+5x = -35-5x+5x
7x = -35
Now the equation is just two numbers. All that is left to do is divide by the last coefficient, 7, in this case.
7x/7 = -35/7
x = -5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

solve for x

2x+14=-21-5

2x+14=-26

subtract 14 from both sides

2x+(14-14)=-14-26

2x=-14-26

2x=-40

divide both sides of 2x = -40 by 2

\frac{2x}{2} =\frac{-40}{2}

2/2=1

x=\frac{-40}{2}

x= -20

Answer: The correct answer is Choice D.

This is an example of an exponential equation. They are in the form of y=ab^x, where a is the starting value, b is the rate and x is the number of years.

Our data starts at 2500 and increases by 5%, or 100% + 5% = 1.05.

If you put them together, you have the equation y = 2500(1.05)^x, Choice D.

Pavlova-9 [17]
Since distance equals speed times time (d = st), we have

t = d/s

where d = 120 miles and s = 15 miles per hour

t = d / s
t = 120 / 15
t = 8

It will take 8 hours to drive 120 miles at a speed of 15 miles per hour.
