Hello!
So the following would be your equation.
3(x+5)-10= 29
Your first step would be to use the Distributive Property based upon PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction). Since we have Parenthesis, we distribute first.
3(x+5)-10=29
^ ^
——————
So, your new equation would be—
3x+15-10=29
Now, you need to combine like terms—
15-10=29
3x+5=29
——————
Therefore your new equation is—
3x+5=29.
Now you need to move the constants (5,29) to one side of the equal sign. To do this, you would use the Subtraction Property of Equality and rid the 5–
3x+5=29
-5 -5
——————
Your equation is now—
3x=24.
Finally, you need to remove the 3 from x. This means you must use the Division Property of Equality, and rid the 3.
3x=24
— —
3 3
Your solved equation is—
X=8

Hope this helped!

Choose the pair of numbers that is not a solution to the given equation.
balandron [24]

Answer:

The pair (0,3) is not a solution to the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be proved by simply replacing the x and y variables in the equation by the x and y values of the pair, and checking if the equation renders a true statement:

By replacing x and y with their values in the pair (0,3), that is x=0 and y=3, in the equation y = 5 - 2x  we get:

3 = 5 - 2 (0)

3 = 5 - 0

3 = 5

which is NOT a true statement.

On the other hand, the other two pairs (2,1) and (1,3) render true statements:

1 = 5 - 2 (2)

1 = 5 - 4

1 = 1

and

3 = 5 - 2 (1)

3 = 5 - 2

3 = 3

Try to simplify 72/6+85/6
Reil [10]
72/6+ 85/6
= (72+ 85)/6
= 157/6
= (156+1)/ 6
= 156/6+ 1/6
= 26+ 1/6
= 26 1/6

The final answer is 26 1/6~
