Solve the equation 6=2 (x+8) -5×

We have to isolate x. We can achieve that using inverse operations.

6 = 2(x + 8) - 5x
Simplify.
6 = 2x + 16 - 5x
Combine like terms.
6 = -3x + 16
Subtract 16 from both sides.
-10 = -3x
Divide both sides by -3.
3 1/3 = x

x is equivalent to 10/3, 3.33 repeating, or 3 1/3.

Sierra says that she can simplify the side of the inequality shown by combining the terms within the parentheses but that she​ c
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Yes, Sierra is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4(y + 7) > -3 (4 + 5)

Required

Is she correct

The right parenthesis has 4 + 5.

This can be simplified as: 4 + 5 = 9

So, we have:

4(y + 7) > -3 (4 + 5)

4(y + 7) > -3 *9

The left parenthesis has y + 7.

This cannot be simplified because y is a variable and 7 is a number.

<em>Hence, Sierra is correct.</em>

Use decimals to answer the question what is 6% of 225
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

(Are you meaning this as the answer is a decimal?)

3/50 * 225/1

<em>Cross-cancel 50 and 225 by cancelling out 25.</em>

3/2 * 9/1

<em>Rewrite this so it is a single fraction.</em>

(3 * 9)/2

<em>Multiply 3 by 9 to get 27.</em>

27/2

<em>Divide 27 by 2 to get 13.5.</em>

13.5

6% of 225 is 13.5.
