5+2(x-1)= 12
So you need to get rid of parentheses, which is that you have to distribute.
5+2x-2= 12
-5             -5    (Inverse)
2x-2= 7
    +2  +2         (Another inverse)
<u>2x</u>= <u>9
</u>2      2       (Divide)

x= 4.5
----------------------
Check
5+2(4.5-1)=12
5+2(3.5)=12
5+7=12
12=12

5+2(x-1)=12 \\ \\ 2 ( x - 1) = 12 - 5 \ / \ subtract \ 5 \ from \ each \ side \\ \\ 2(x - 1) = 7 \ / \ simplify \\ \\ x - 1 =  \frac{7}{2} \ / \ divide \ each \ side \ by \ 2 \\ \\ x =  \frac{7}{2}  + 1 \ / \ add \ 1 \ to \ each \ side \\ \\ x =  \frac{9}{2} \ / \ simplify \\ \\

So, the answer to this problem is x = 9/2 or x = 4.5.

why is there no need to go further than the multiples of 7 when checking if a number less than 100 is prime​

Step-by-step explanation:

because 7 is the highest prime number that when squared is less than 100, 11 yhe next prime number when squared is 121. As such all non-prime numbers less than 100 will be a would have prime factors of either 2, 3, 5 & 7

Ken wants to install a row of ceramic tiles on a wall that is 21 3/8 inches wide. Each tile is 4 1/2 inches wide. What fraction
pentagon [3]

Answer: 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

He needs 4 3/4 whole tiles, you could round it to 5 whole tiles. He needed 4 3/4 whole tiles. To completely fill in all the spaces on the wall evenly, it needs to be 5 even, while, tiles. To fill in the empty space, you must subtract 5 and 4 3/4, which explains why Part A says “How many whole tiles does he need” and the answer “4 3/4” So, Subtraction: 5- 4 3/4 = 1/4!

Your welcome :)

What is the solution of the equation? (√2x-1) + 2=x
Gwar [14]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

√(2x − 1) + 2 = x

√(2x − 1) = x − 2

2x − 1 = (x − 2)²

2x − 1 = x² − 4x + 4

0 = x² − 6x + 5

0 = (x − 1) (x − 5)

x = 1 or 5

Check for extraneous solutions.

√(2(1) − 1) + 2 = 1

√(1) + 2 = 1

3 = 1

No solution

√(2(5) − 1) + 2 = 5

√(9) + 2 = 5

5 = 5

x = 5
