Answer:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

−5(x+1)+3x−3=−14

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−5(x+1)+3x−3=−14

(−5)(x)+(−5)(1)+3x+−3=−14(Distribute)

−5x+−5+3x+−3=−14

(−5x+3x)+(−5+−3)=−14(Combine Like Terms)

−2x+−8=−14

−2x−8=−14

Step 2: Add 8 to both sides.

−2x−8+8=−14+8

−2x=−6

Step 3: Divide both sides by -2.

−2x

−2

=

−6

−2

x=3

Answer:

<em>x</em> = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(<em>x</em> + 1) + 3<em>x</em> - 3 = -14

Distribute within parenthesis

-5<em>x</em> -5 + 3x - 3 = -14

Combine like terms

-2<em>x</em> - 8 = -14

Add 8 to both sides

-2<em>x</em> = -6

Divide -2 by both sides

<em>x</em> = 3

I hope this helps :)

Two customers took out home equity loans. • Cathy took out a 10-year loan for $20,000 and paid 5.20% annual simple interest • St
ratelena [41]

Answer: B) $4,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining simple interest is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Where

I represents interest paid on the loan.

P represents the principal or amount taken as loan

R represents interest rate

T represents the duration of the loan in years.

Considering Cathy's loan,

P = $20,000

R = 5.2%

T = 10 years

I = (20000 × 5.2 × 10)/100

I = $10400

Considering Steven's loan,

P = $20,000

R = 4.8%

T = 15 years

I = (20000 × 4.8 × 15)/100

I = $14400

The difference between the amounts of interest Cathy and Steven paid for their loans is

14400 - 10400 = $4000

Okay, i'm pretty sure that if you make a residual plot its a plot using all those points labeled. So plot those points on a graph, if you are using a K12 diagram use the 1-10 as 100-1000 (basically add a zero to every number)

A rectangular retaining wall has an area of
Veronika [31]

Answer:

The height of wall is 3 feet and length of wall is 5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The Area of retaining wall = 15 square feet

Let The width of wall = W feet

The Height of wall = ( W - 2 ) feet

Now, Area of Rectangle = Height  width

Or , 15 ft² = ( W - 2 ) ft × W ft

Or,  15 = W² - 2 W

Or,   W² - 2 W - 15 = 0

Or,  W² - 5 W + 3 W - 15 = 0

Or, W ( W - 5 ) + 3 ( W - 5 ) = 0

So , ( W - 5 ) ( W + 3 ) = 0

So, W = 5 , - 3

∴ The width of wall = W = 5 feet

And The Height of wall = ( W - 2 ) = 5 - 2 = 3  feet

Hence The height of wall is 3 feet and length of wall is 5 feet. Answer
