Answer:
8x- 38
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x-6)+5(x-4)
Distribute
3x- 18+5x -20
Combine like terms
3x+5x -18-20
8x- 38
Because you are not adding the x's .When you add the coefficients, the variable comes along with it.
Answer:
The mean for the second week is $2 less than the first and in percentage it is 22% less.
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean is given by the sum of all individual values divided by the number of values. For the first week the sum is:
sum1 = 6.5 + 8 + 7.25 + 13.5 + 9.75
sum1 = 45
Since she spent 10 less in the second week the sum is:
sum2 = sum1 - 10 = 45 - 10 = 35
The mean for each week is:
mean1 = sum1/5 = 45/5 = 9
mean2 = sum2/5 = 35/5 = 7
difference = mean1 - mean2 = 9-7 = 2
difference(%) = [2/9]*100 = 0.22*100 = 22%
The mean for the second week is $2 less than the first and in percentage it is 22% less.
Answer:
x =3
Step-by-step explanation:
3(4x + 4) = 2(5x+9) - 12
First step is to open the brackets by multiplying. It becomes
3×4x + 3×4 = 2×5x + 2×9 -12
12x + 12 = 10x + 18 - 12
Collecting like terms on the right hand side and left hand side of the equation, it becomes
12x -10x = 18 -12 -12
2x = -6
Negative sign on the right hand side of the equation overwhelms the positive sign on left hand side of the equation. It becomes
2x = -6
x = -6/2 = -3
Checking
3(4×-3 + 4) = 2(5×-3+9) - 12
-24 = -12-12= -24
So x = -3
i am sorry i was gonna anwer but i keep getting it wrong mys elf
