If 5(x - 4) + 2 = -173, what is the value of x

5x-20+2= -173
5x-18= -173
5x= -155
x= -31
First, you multiply everything in parentheses by 5 and then add the 2. Next, you subtract 20-2 which will give you -18. Then, you add 18 to both sides which will give you -155. Finally, you divide -155 by 5 to give you a final answer of -31.

Answer:
x = -31

Explanation:
To get the value of x, we will need to isolate the x on one side of the equation.
This can be done as follows:
5(x-4) + 2 = -173

1- get rid of the brackets:
5x - 5(4) + 2 = -173
5x - 20 + 2 = -173

2- Combine like terms:
5x - 20 + 2 = -173
5x - 18  = -173
5x = -173 + 18
5x = -155

3- Get rid of the coefficient of the x:
5x = -155
x = -155/5
x = -31

Hope this helps :)

Jose left the White House and drove toward the recycling plant at an average speed of 40 km/h. Rob left some time later driving
Aleks04 [339]
Let x represent Jose's drived distance and y represent Rob's.
So what you need to do is to solve the equation:
40x=48*5
40x=240
x=240/40=6

So Jose drove for 6 hours before Rob caught him.

A number is greater than 8. The same number is less than 10. The inequalities x greater-than 8 and x less-than 10 represent the
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

There are a few solutions because there are some fractions and decimals between 8 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be 'x'

If the number is greater than 8 and the same number is less than 10, this can be expressed as;

x>8 and x < 10

Note that if x>8, then 8<x

The resulting inequalities are now;

8<x and x<10

Combining both inequalities we have: 8<x<10

Since the inequality didn't tell us that the variable 'x' is equal to 8 and 10, this means that our solution falls between 8 and 10 and the value of integer that falls within this range is 9. Other values that falls within this range are decimals and fractions.

Therefore it can be concluded that there are a few solutions because there are some fractions and decimals between 8 and 10

the 90 members of a service Club had the opportunity to vote for a club officers on Tuesday or Wednesday 3/5 of the members vote
oee [108]
For this problem, it is really important to find who voted on Tuesday first.
90×(3/5)= 54 
54 people voted on Tuesday. Since the people who voted on Wednesday was 1/4 of the members who did not vote on Tuesday.
90-54=36×(1/4)=9
9 people voted on Wednesday. Now add Tuesday and Wednesday together to find the ones that didn't vote.
54+9=63;90-63=27
27 people did not vote at all.
