Answer:
x = -15/2
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem, we will simply use equation properties to solve for x.
2x - 5 = -20
2x - 5 + 5 = -20 + 5
2x = -15 ( Add positive 5 to both sides )
2x * (1/2) = -15 * (1/2)
x = -15/2 ( Multiply both sides by 1/2)
Hence, the solution to x is -15 / 2.
Cheers.
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
D. This is an experiment because it is applying a treatment
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
Experiments and observational studies are both ways to find new information about a hypothesis but in different ways.
Vocabulary
First, to understand the question, let's define the key terms.
- Experiment - An experiment is when a scientist purposely applies a treatment and interferes with a person's life in order to gather information.
- Observational Study - This type of study attempts to study a person without interfering with their lives in any way.
These definitions eliminate the answer choices A and C because both of them match the incorrect definition of the term.
Experiment vs. Observational Study
Now, we need to figure out if this specific example is an experiment or an observational study. In this case, the nutritionist is giving a treatment of vitamins. This means that this cannot be an observational study because the scientist is interfering with people. It has to be an experiment because there is a specific treatment being applied.
The second answer from the top is correct. Your original choice is incorrect because the 7x and the 3 are not both being squared as the statement suggests.

Step-by-step explanation:
Functions cannot have any repeating x-coordinates.
Answer:
A.-
D.
E.
Step-by-step explanation:
Like terms must have the same variable, in this case x, and the same exponent, in this case 2. Since the original term is 
, the like terms will be those that contain , regardless of whether their coefficient or sign is different.
Analyzing the options:
A.-
We have the same variable and the same exponent , so it is a like term.
B. 
You have the same variable x but not the same exponent. So it's not a like term of
C.
Same variable 
but as in the previous case, the exponent is different, it is a 3 and it should be a 2, so it is not a similar or like term.
D.
In this option we do have the , so it is a like term of
E.
It is also a like term because it contains the .
In summary the like terms are:
A.-
D.
E.
