Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If 10 + 5x is 12 more than 8, what is the value of 3x? We can represent this with the equation below.

10+5x = 12+8.

Simplifying this gives us 10+5x = 20, then 5x = 10, then x = 2.

If x = 2, then 3x = 6.

Answer:

3x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

10 + 5x =8+12

10 +5x = 20

Subtract 10 from each side

10-10+5x=20-10

5x= 10

Divide by 5

5x/5 = 10/5

x = 2

We want 3x

3(2) = 6

3x=6

Figure A is a scale image of Figure B. What is the value of x?

kari74 [83]

Hey there! :)

Answer:

x = 21 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know Figure A is just Figure B scaled, we can set up a proportion:

$\frac{45}{35}= \frac{27}{x}$

Cross multiply to solve for x:

45 · x = 35 · 27

45x = 945

Divide both sides by 45:

x = 21 units.

Solve 2x3 + x2 - 15x completely by factoring.

Ludmilka [50]

2x^3+x^2-15x factored completely would be: <em>x(x+3)(2x-5).</em> Not sure which answer choice but I hope that I was some help.
