Answer:

\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{  \sf{x = 0.875}}}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf{3[ x + 3(4x - 5)]  = 15x - 24}

Distribute 3 through the parentheses

⇒\sf{3[ x + 12x - 15 ]  = 15x - 24}

Collect like terms : 12x and x

⇒\sf{3[ 13x - 15 ]  = 15x - 24}

Distribute 3 through the parentheses

⇒\sf{39x - 45 = 15x - 24}

Move 15x to left hand side and change it's sign

Similarly, move 45 to right hand side and change it's sign

⇒\sf{39x - 15x =  - 24 + 45}

Collect like terms

⇒\sf{24x =  - 24 + 45}

Calculate

⇒\sf{24x = 21}

Divide both sides of the equation by 24

⇒\sf{ \frac{24x}{24}  =  \frac{21}{24}}

Calculate

⇒\sf{x = 0.875}

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D

What is the surface area of the figure?
likoan [24]
We can split it up into a net
actually, here is a hack

notice that indented side?
we can take the plane and push it so it makes 4 sides, neat

ok, so we now just have 4 normal sides and 2 L shapes

L shape can be cut into 2 rectangles
5 by 5 and 5 by 10 so total of 75 is the L
2 L's so
2*75=150

the sides
4 of them
they all are 10 by 3
10*3*4=120

toatl is 150+120=270

answer is A

How can the probability of an event help make predictions
Sliva [168]
The probability of an event can help make predictions by knowing the chance of something happening and using your knowledge to determine the probability of choosing for example blue on a spinner out of 6 with 4 blues. there is 4 blues and 2 red so you predict it will be on red because there is more of it
