How to do 2(x-5)-8=20

Answer:

<em>x = 19</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute the 2 on the left side.

2(x - 5) - 8 = 20

2x - 10 - 8 = 20

Combine like terms on the left side.

2x - 18 = 20

Add 18 to both sides.

2x = 38

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 19

Answer:

Solution for 2(x-5)-8=20 equation:

Simplifying

2(x + -5) + -8 = 20

Reorder the terms:

2(-5 + x) + -8 = 20

(-5 * 2 + x * 2) + -8 = 20

(-10 + 2x) + -8 = 20

Reorder the terms:

-10 + -8 + 2x = 20

Combine like terms: -10 + -8 = -18

-18 + 2x = 20

Solving

-18 + 2x = 20

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '18' to each side of the equation.

-18 + 18 + 2x = 20 + 18

Combine like terms: -18 + 18 = 0

0 + 2x = 20 + 18

2x = 20 + 18

Combine like terms: 20 + 18 = 38

2x = 38

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 19

Simplifying

x = 19

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The current population (in 2005) is 4000 because it is the constant. The slope tells us how many people are added to the population, so 70 per year. For ex. 2008 (2008- 2005 = 3=> 3 x 70 = 210 => 210 + 4000 = 4210).

shtirl [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line in question is the same as the slope of the line parallel to it. Using y = mx + b, where m is the slope, we find the slope of our line is -3.

Using the pt-slope form, y - y1 = m( x - x1), we get y - (-1) = -3( x - 2) or y + 1 = -3x + 6. Which leads us to y = -3x + 5. QED
