Answer: x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
First step is to distribute the 5(x + 2).
5x + 10 = 6x + 3x - 14
The 6x and the 3x on the right can be combined.
5x + 10 = 9x - 14
Now add 14 to both sides to isolate the 9x.
5x + 24 = 9x
Subtract 5x from both sides.
24 = 4x
Divide by 4 to get x by itself.
6 = x
There are many reasons one may want to simplify, rearranging to find specific values - or maybe just making it simpler
Well, let's do some examples:
y(x(3+2)) +2 = -2y +2 <span>< I just made this one up, it looks really complicated right now, none the less it can be simplified easily
</span>y(3x+2x) + 2 = - 2y +2
3xy + 2xy + 2 = -2y +2
5xy + 2 = -2y +2 <-- the +2's dissapear because they cancel out
5xy = -2y
<span>And there we have it, that long expression has been simplified to something really simple.

Another example:
3(4(x+3(2 +z)) - 5)= 3y <span><- you can start where ever, I like starting in the middle
</span>3 * (4 * (x + 3*(2 + z)) - 5 ) = 3y <span><- here it is spaced out, we get a much better view
</span><span>3 * (4 * (x + 6 + 3z) - 5 ) = 3y</span>
3 * (4x + 24 + 12z - 5) = 3y <- divide both sides by 3 ..
4x + 24 + 12z - 5 = y <- much better
<span>
</span>Note: Simplify means solving to a degree, but you can't solve it because it has unknowns

Answer:
Hey, how are you
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>we are given the dimensions of a trapezoid: base lengths of 6 and 12 and a base angle of 45 degrees. In this case, we can identify the height of the trapezoid by: tan 45 = h/ (12-6)/2 ; h is equal to 2 units. The area of the trapezoid is A = (b1+ b2)*(h/2). Hence, A = 27 unit2 </span>
