Hello there!

2(x - 3) = 2x + 5

Let's start by using the distributive property for the left side.

(2)(x) + (2)(-3) = 2x + 5

2x - 6 = 2x + 5

Then we need to add 6 to both sides

2x - 6 + 6 = 2x + 5 + 6

2x = 2x + 11

We need to transfer 2x on the left side, we gonna do that by subtracting 2x from both sides

2x - 2x = 2x + 11 - 2x

0 = 11

Thus,

There are no solutions.

I hope this helps!

Good luck with your career!

1. Expand

2x - 6 = 2x + 5

2. Cancel 2x on both sides

-6 = 5

3. Simplify

-6 + 5 = -1

Which choice represents the expanded form of the expression (x- 2)3

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

(x−2)^3=x^3−6x^2+12x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

if you are talking about the binomial (x−2)^3 you must expand then simplify. (x-2)3 you would just remove the parenthesizes and multiply -2 with 3 to get x-6 but I think you meant (x-2)^3

Solve for a side in right triangles

natita [175]

Answer:

2.30

Step-by-step explanation:

The side of interest is opposite the given angle, and the hypotenuse is given. The sine relation tells you ...

sin(A) = a/c

a = c·sin(A) = 3·sin(50°)

a = BC ≈ 2.2981 ≈ 2.30
