1) Simplify the problem

This involves combining variables

2-5=-3

Now that is -3+2x= 5x+15

2) Find the hidden variable.

Now that the problem is in order you can find the hidden variable of x.

So think what number in place of x makes this equation true?

There are may ways you can solve for x, including the substitution method.

The first step i'd take is distributing the right side, by multiplying everything in the parentheses by 5 , so ; 2+2x-5=5x+15

then you could gather similar or like terms on one side, by moving all the x terms to the right, and all the regular terms to the left. to do this, you do the same thing on both sides of the equation

 2 +2x -5   = 5x +15      
    -2x -15 = -2x -15

2-5-15 = 3x

20) Use the distributive property to factor the expression. 10xz − 20yz A) z(10x − 20y) B) 10(xz − 2yz) C) 10z(x − 2y) D) xyz(10
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

C. 10z(x - 2y)

Step-by-step explanation:

10xz − 20y

Factor the terms

Factors of 10xz   =          2 ×       5 × x ×        z

Factors of -20yz = (-1) × 2 × 2 × 5 ×        y × z

Identify their greatest common factor

The common factors are 2, 5, and z. The greatest common  factor is 10z.

Rewrite them with the GCF as a factor

 10xz = 10z ×     x

-20yz = 10z × (-2y)

Replace the terms in the original expression with the factored terms

10xz − 20yz = 10z(x) + 10z(-2y)

Use the distributive property to isolate the greatest common factor

10z(x) + 10z(-2y) = 10z(x - 2y)

A baseball team had 70 players show up for tryouts last year and this year had 85 players show up for tryouts. Find the percent
Mashutka [201]

Answer:percent increase in players from last year to this year= 7.14%

Step-by-step explanation:

percent increase = (Increase  in number of players /Initial value of players Last year)  x 100

value of players for tryouts  last year = 70

value of players for tryouts this year = 85

Increase in tryouts = 85-70 =5

percent increase = 5/70 x 100

= 7.14%

Please please help!!!!!!
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

total area=lb=

where l=8x-10

b=2x+2x=4x

area=4x(8x-10)=32x^2-40x..........(1)

now..area of hot tub=x^2=lb

area of pool=lb=2x(6x-14)=12x^2-28x

area of patio = total area - area of hot tub and pool

A=32x^2-40x-x^2-12x^2+28x=(19x^2-12x) feet.....ans
