Solve 2(x-2) = 3(x+2)-8

Mathematics
1 answer:
IgorC [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x-2) = 3(x+2)-8

Multiply the 2 and 3 out to the numbers in the parentheses. Don't multiply the 3 out to the -8 because it is outside of the parentheses.

2x-4 = 3x+6-8

Combine the 6 and -8

2x-4 = 3x-2

Subtract 2x from both sides

-4 = x-2

Add 2 to both sides

-2=x

Drag each expression to show whether it is equivalent to 3 time times 9 or to 2x3x9​
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The answers to your questions are given below

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 3 × 9 = 27

B. 2 × 3 × 9 = 54

Next, we shall determine which option will give the same result obtained above.

9 × 3 = 27

9 × 3 × 2 = 54

3 × (4 + 5) = 3 × 9 = 27

(2 × 3) × 9 = 6 × 9 = 54

Therefore,

3 × 9 = 27

9 × 3 = 27

3 × (4 + 5) = 27

2 × 3 × 9 = 54

9 × 3 × 2 = 54

(2 × 3) × 9 = 54

SUMMARY

3 × 9 >>>>>>>>> 2 × 3 × 9

9 × 3 >>>>>>>>> 9 × 3 × 2

3 × (4 + 5) >>>>> (2 × 3) × 9

Anna bought a potted plant online. It cost $3.4 5plus 20% shipping and handling.What was the total cost
eimsori [14]

Answer:

Total cost = $4.08

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Selling price = $3.4

Shipping and handling fee = 20%

To find the total cost;

First of all, we would determine the extra fee;

Extra fee = 20/100 * 3.4

Extra fee = 68/100

Extra fee = $0.68

Now, we can solve for the total cost using the formula below;

Total cost = selling price + extra fee

Total cost = 3.4 + 0.68

Total cost = $4.08
