That would be 5x-5 because the number inside is multiplied by the numbers inside due to the brackets. Hope u understand my explanation.
D)One solution. b=5
Distribute 2 times b plus 2 times 3
2b+6
2b+6+2b=26
Combine like terms 4b+6=26
Subtract 6 from both sides
4b=20
Divide both sides by 4
b=5
Check by substituting 5 for b
2 (5+3)+2(5)=26
2(8) + 2(5)=26
16+10=26
26=26
Answer:20.5
Step-by-step explanation:
If the 2 is an exponent, it should be marked as such.
“3x2” means 3x⋅2
“3x^2” means 3x²
3x²+8x = 0
Discriminant = 8²-4(3)(0) = 64
