Answer:
-1 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: the answer is 4.95
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify 1/3(6x - 15) to 6x - 15/3
6x - 15/3 = 1/2(10x - 4)
Factor out the common term; 3
3(2x - 5)/3 = 1/2(10x - 4)
Cancel out 3
2x - 5 = 1/2(10x - 4)
Simplify 1/2(10x - 4) to 10x - 4/2
2x - 5 = 10x - 4/2
Factor out the common term; 2
2x - 5 = 2(5x - 2)/2
Cancel out 2
2x - 5 = 5x - 2
Subtract 2x from both sides
-5 = 5x - 2 - 2x
Simplify 5x - 2 - 2x to 3x - 2
-5 = 3x - 2
Add 2 to both sides
-5 + 2 = 3x
Simplify -5 + 2 to -3
-3 = 3x
Divide both sides by 3
- 1 = x
Switch sides
<u>x = -1</u>

Answer:
C. 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Substituting, we have ...
8{80, 19, 11} ?= 88
{640, 152, 88} ?= 88
The value from the set that makes the equation true is x = 11.
_____
<em>Alternate methods of solution (other than substitution)</em>
It can be easier to make use of your knowledge of factoring:
8x = 8·11
x = 11
Or to make use of your knowledge of numbers (place value):
8·10 = 80
so x will not be very different from 10.
