The answer would be x ≠ 0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First start with the left side, doing distributive property
So... -2(x) = -2x and -2(5) = -10 Therefore on the left side you now have -2x -10
Next do the same on the right side
-2(x) = - 2x and -2(-2) = 4 so you have -2x + 4 + 5 and you add 4 and 5, leaving you with -2x + 9
Now that you have simplified both sides the problem now looks like this:
-2x - 10 = -2x + 9
Because you have equal terms on both sides (-2) those cancel out so you have -10 = 9
Just from looking at this we know that the statement is false because -1o does not equal 9
*The symbol, "≠" means not equal to"
The answer is E because if you take 60 pounds of hazel nut coffee you spend 420$ and that would leave 30 pounds of vanilla left which equals 120$ and if you and those two numbers you get the sum of how much money she spent on coffee.
That's OK, but you have not said which variable you want to solve it for.
<u>To solve for 'x':</u>
<span>c + ax = dx
Subtract c from each side: ax = dx - c
Subtract dx from each side: ax - dx = -c
Factor the left side: x (a - d) = -c
Divide each side by (a - d) : x = -c / (a - d) or <u>x = c / (d - a)</u> .
</span><span><u>To solve for 'c': </u>
</span><span> c + ax = dx
Subtract ax from each side and factor: <u>c = x (d - a) </u>
</span><u>To solve for 'd': </u>
<span>c + ax = dx
Divide each side by 'x': d = c/x + a .
<u>To solve for 'a':</u>
</span><span><span> c + ax = dx</span>
Subtract 'c' from each side: ax = dx - c
Divide each side by 'x': <u>a = d - c/x </u>.
