Find X. 2x + 15 = 20

Mathematics
1 answer:
lakkis [162]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = 5/2     or     x = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, we will have to get the equation 2x + 15 = 20 into the form x = _. That will be our answer.

2x + 15 = 20

Subtract 15 from both sides to get rid of the +15 on the left side.

2x = 20 - 15

Simplify.

2x = 5

Divide both sides by 2 to get rid of the coefficient of 2 on the left side.\

x = 5/2 = 2.5

x = 5/2   or    x = 2.5

I hope you find my answer helpful. :)

Jim’s football team started a play on the 50 yard line. On the first play, the team had a 7-yard gain. On the second play, they
lawyer [7]

This is a basic addition/subtraction question. It's saying that they started at the 50 yard line. On the play, they gained 7 yards. So, we'll add 50+7 = 57.

They're at the 57 yard line at this point. On the second play they lost 10 yards (how unfortunate). Thereby, we will subtract 57-10=47.

50 yards +7 yards. -10 yards.

The answer will be that they'll be on the 47 yard line on the next play.

Helen [10]
The total area of the garden is 37.1 ft x 15 ft = 556.5 sq. ft. It is safe to assume that the area of each shrub is 15.9 sq. ft. The number of shrubs can be calculated by dividing the total area of the garden by the area of each shrub: 556.5 sq. ft. / 15.9 sq. ft. = 35 shrubs.

What is the slope of the line whose equation is -48 = 2x - 8y?<br> Enter your answer in the box.
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The slope is \frac{2}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the general equation of a straight line y = mx+c

Here m is the slope of the line.

So let's get the equation of the line in the question in the same form.

-48 = 2x-8y

Add 8y to both sides: 8y - 48 = 2x

Add 48 to both sides: 8y = 2x + 48

Divide by 8 to get it into the general equation: y = \frac{2}{8} x + 6

Now compare it to the general equation to find the value of m. The value of m is the coefficient of x which we can see is \frac{2}{8}
