Let's build the equation counting how many x's and 1's are there on each side.
On the left hand side we have 5x's and 8 1's, for a total of 
On the left hand side we have 3x's and 10 1's, for a total of 
So, the equation we want to solve is
Subtract 3x from both sides:
Subtract 8 from both sides:
Divide both sides by 2:
Answer:
(b) 2.71828 . . .

Answer:
Buddie
Buddie should enter on line 6 of the income section:
capital gains or losses that he incurred for the past year.
Step-by-step explanation:
Line 6 asks about the capital gains or losses from the past year so that the AGI total could be obtained before deductions are made. Where Line 6 is filled, there are some other forms that will accompany it, like Schedule D and 1099-B or 1099-S forms, which record the capital gains or losses. All capital gains that are not excludable must be stated for income tax purpose.
Answer:
x < 3
Step-by-step explanation:
6(x + 3) < 5x + 18 + x
- 6x + 18 < 6x + 18
- 6x + 6x < 18 + 18
- 12x < 36
- x < 36 ÷ 12
- x < 3
