Hi there

3(x + 6) = 2(4x + 14)
3x + 18 = 8x + 28
3x - 8x = 28 - 18
-5x = 10
x= 10/-5
x = -2


Here it is :)

Hi there! ~

So to start off, we are trying to find the value of x. This is a lot different then just "replacing x with the given value" as we have previously done. So lets get started ~ 

• Our first step is going to be to distribute our problem.

We have; (Putting these in parenthesis)

3(x+6) = 2(4x + 14)
↓   ↓   ↓   ↓   ↓   ↓   
(3)(x) + (3)(6) = (2))4x) + (2)(14)
↓   ↓   ↓   ↓   ↓   ↓  
3x + 18 = 8x + 26

• Now we need to subtract "18" by both sides of the given equation. 

-5x + 18 - 18 = 28 - 18

28-18 = 10

-5x = 10

↓   ↓   ↓   ↓   ↓

• Now we need to divide both of our sides by -5, to get our final and foremost answer. 

\frac{-5x}{-5} =  \frac{10}{-5}

And with that we get our final answer; x = -2

The sum of 0.8 and 0.04 can be written as a fraction where the numerator and the denominator are both positive integers. When th
Luda [366]

Answer: 0.84 as a fraction is 84/100

Greatest common factor is 4

Resulting fraction is 21/25

Addition of numerator and denominator of the resulting fraction is 46

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the sum of 0.8 and 0.04 is written as 0.8 + 0.04 = 0.84

Convert 0.84 to fraction = 84/100

The numerator and denominator in 84/100 are both positive integers.

The greatest common factor to the numerator and denominator is 4

Divide 84 by 4 = 21

Divide 100 by 4 = 25

Therefore, the resulting fraction is 21/25

Addition of 21 and 25 equals 46.

I hope this helps.

Factor 125x^3-1000. Show your work.
Salsk061 [2.6K]

The left term is (5x)³.

The right term is 10³.

So, you can use the formula for the factorization of the difference of cubes.

... a³ - b³ = (a-b)(a² +ab +b²)

Here, you have a=5x, b=10, so the factorization is

... 125x³ -1000 = (5x-10)(25x² +50x +100)

Morgarella [4.7K]

Subtract 15 from the depth:

200-15 = 185

Subtract 20 from the width ( 10 from both sides)

250-20 = 230

Area to build on: 185 x 230 = 42,550 square feet.

Please help me out with this problem!!!!!!
guapka [62]

Answer:

b)

Step-by-step explanation:

The line with positive slope is 3x-5y≥15 and the line with negative slope is 2x+3y≤12.

This is because such inequalities represent half planes which are divided by the corresponding lines.

Put (0,0) in both lines to check if the origin lies in the shaded half plane or not.
