Greetings!

Solve for <em>x</em>.
-2(x+3y)=18
Distribute the Parenthesis. <em>How?</em> Multiply all of the terms inside the parenthesis by the number outside the parenthesis.
(-2)*x+(-2)*3y=18
-2x-6y=18
Add 6y to both sides.
(-2x-6y)+6y=(18)+6y
-2x=18+6y
Divide both sides by -2.
(-2x)/-2=(18+6y)/-2
The Answer Is:
x=-9-3y
x=-3y-9

Hope this helps.

hammer [34]

In this question there are several important information's provided. Using these information's it is easy to get the answer to the question asked. Firstly it is already informed that the insurance agent gets a commission of 15% of the policy price for every policy sold. The agent sells a policy of $300.

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer: For a fence that has 18 posts he needs 36 rails.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to use proportions:

Each section use 3 vertical fence post and 6 horizontal rails

The proportion is = 3 post /6 rails

For 18 posts:

18 posts / x rails.

3 /6 = 18 /x

Solving for x:

x = 18 / (3/6)

x = 36 rails

For a fence that has 18 posts he needs 36 rails.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
