Solve for x: <span>8x-5=-3(3-2x)

1. Carry out the indicated multiplication: 8x - 5 = - 9 + 6x
2. Combine like terms: 2x = -4
3. Solve this final equation for x: x = -2 (answer)

The first step would be to simplify both sides of the equal sign as much as possible.
8x - 5 = -3(3 - 2x)
8x - 5 = -9 - (-6x)
8x - 5 = -9 + 6x

Next, you would need to combine like terms on both sides of the equal sign to one on one side of the equal sign and one on the other.
8x - 5 = -9 + 6x
2x - 5 = -9
2x = -4

Now, all you have to do is isolate the x. To do this, you would divide both sides by 2.
2x = -4
x = -2

I hope this helps!

an architect created plans for a house using a scale factor of 1:16 . In the plans, the floor of the house has an area of 7 squa

Yuki888 [10]

To figure this out you would need to create a rectangle with dimensions that give you an area of 7 ft.². The easiest example would be a rectangle that is one by seven. If the scale is 1:16, that means for every foot it is actually representing 16 feet. The actual length and width would be found by multiplying 1×16 and 7×16. The true dimensions then would be 16 x 112. Multiply this together to get a total area of 1792 ft.².

Answer:

L = 7, W = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

All I did was I wrote out the equations, L = 2w - 5 and 2L + 2W = 26. I then substituted what L was into the equation and solves. Here's my work if you would like to see it.

The product of a constant factor 15 and a 2-term factor x+4

dezoksy [38]

The product of 15 and $x+4$ is $15(x+4) = 15x+60$ . This is a linear binomial.

$4x^3-2x-9-(2x^3)$ is a cubic trinomial. In your original question, I'm not sure what the $5x+3$ means.
