So the equation is x + 2x + 5= 29
Here are the steps            -5    -5
                               -----------------------
                                        3x   = 24
      Divide both sides by 3 so you get
                                          x = 8
Then look back at the question, the second number has to be twice that number plus 5
                 So the 1st number is 8 The second # is 2(8)+5= 21

The work of a student trying to solve the equation 3(4x − 2) = 9 + 2x + 5 is shown below:
galina1969 [7]
Step 1 gives you 
3*(4x - 2) on the left hand side.

When you remove the brackets what you get is
3*4x - 3*2
12 x - 6 You have to distribute on both sides of the plus sign. The answer is the second one down.

So the answer is 2) <<<< answer.

In a multiple choice quiz there are 5 questions and 4 choices for each question (a, b, c, d). Robin has not studied for the quiz
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

We have 20 category Questions split into 5

Where we would assume that the 3rd question is simply 1/4 + 5/20 chance.

This is not a determiner as Robin is asked more questions.

So it is simply 1/4 and kept to factors that Robin will answer one of the 4 choices upon the 3rd question as 1/4 regardless of other questions being asked. Where Robins first answer would be the third question we subtract 4/5 = 16/20 - 5/20= 11/40. Which can only be rounded down to 2 decimal places 0.275
