X=-16 -2(2x+5)-3=-3(x-1) (-4x-10)-3=-3x+3 -4x-13=-3x+3 Move -13 to the right side by adding it to +3 and itself to cancel the original -13 out, and move -3x to the left side by adding it to -4x and itself to cancel the original -3x out -4x+3x=3+13 -1x=16 Divide -1 from both sides x=-16

- - Solve for "x"

Steps:
You need to simplify for both sides of your equation
Then add your "3x" to both of the sides of the problem
Now add 13 to both sides
and then final step is to divide both sides by "-1"

Final answer:

x= -16

A company manufactures skateboards. Each skateboard requires 1 6/7 hours of labor to assemble and 2 1/2 hours of labor to finish

Assoli18 [71]

Answer: The total cost will be $156.85.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Time taken by labor to assemble the each skateboard is given by

$1\frac{6}{7}\ hours\\\\=\frac{13}{7}\ hours$

Time taken by labor to finish and stain each skateboard is given by

$2\frac{1}{2}\ hours\\\\=\frac{5}{2}\ hours$

Cost of labour to the company per hour = $36.00

According to question,

We will use "Distributive Property":

$a\times (b+c)=a\times b+a\times c$

$36(\frac{13}{7}+\frac{5}{2})\\\\=36\times \frac{13}{7}+36\times \frac{5}{2}\\\\=\frac{468}{7}+18\times 5\\\\=\frac{468}{7}+90\\\\=\frac{468+630}{7}\\\\=\frac{1098}{7}\\\\=\$156.85$

Hence, the total cost will be $156.85.

Two students, Raymond and Shauna, are trying to get city council members to vote for a new park along the river. 2/6 of the 24 c

galina1969 [7]

Raymond and Shauna must convince at least 5 more city council member. Because if every 2/6 members agree with the idea, then there would be 8 people out 24 that already agree with the idea. So if you have already 8 members then to make 13, you just need 5 (8 + 5=13) more people to 13.
