Hey there!

We need to find the one value of x that, when plugged in, will equal 11.

You have asked if x can equal 5. Let's plug it in and see if it works.

3(5)+2=11

15+2=11

17=11

You can see that this statement is false. So, what can we do to find the right answer.

We need to isolate x so we can see what it equals. To do this, we will use inverse operations.

3x+2-2=11-2

3x=9

3x/3=9/3

x=3

If we plug in 3, you will see that it does equal 11, making the equation true.

I hope this helps!

Ashley bought 4 packages of juice boxs in each package. She. gave 2 juice boxs to each of her friends. How many juice boxes does
Harlamova29_29 [7]
I am assuming there are more than one juice box in a package so if the amount of juice boxes in each package is X and there are four packages 4X.
So 4X - 2= Answer

If we make it so that there are 6 juice boxes in each package and use the same method this is what we'll get:
24 - 2= 22

22 would be the juice boxes left over.

I hope this answers your question, if it doesn't use the same method with the number of juice boxes in a package.

For the following right triangle, find the side length x. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

x = 14.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a = 11

b = x

c = 18

plug in and solve

11^2 + x^2 = 18^2

121 + x^2 = 324 - Simplify

x^2 = 203 - subtract 121 from both sides

x = 14.247 rounds to 14.25 - square root on both sides
