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!

Can someone please explain how to solve such a mean and sneaky problem? Please?

Answer:

all real numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

simplify each side of the inequality

26 + 6b -- already fully simplified

2(3b + 4) → 6b + 8

26 + 6b ≥ 6b + 8

subtract 6b from both sides

26 ≥ 8

since this expression is true (26 is greater than 8), then the solution is all real numbers. any value could take the place of b because in the end, it will be canceled out by itself, resulting in 26 ≥ 8

Mack the bug starts at (0,0) at noon and each minute moves one unit right or one unit up. He is trying to get to the point (5,7)
PSYCHO15rus [73]
<span>This is a very nice counting question. Suggestion / Hint: Count how many ways he can get from (0,0) to (5,7) by going through the point (2,3). Then subtract that from ALL POSSIBLE ways he can get from (0,0) to (5,7). Hint for the hint: How many ways he can get from (0,0) to (5,7) by going through the point (2,3)? Well, that's the SUM of how many ways he can get from (0,0) to (2,3) and how many ways he get get from (2,3) to (5,7). Hope this helps! :)</span>

-3x . 2 -24x - 36

= -6x - 24x - 36

= -30x - 36
