1. distribute the 3 into the variable and number in the equation
to do this..
2. multiply 3 by x (obtain the answer of 3x)
3. multiply 3 by -2 (obtain the answer of -6)
4. you now have the equation of ‘14 = 3x-6+5’
5. subtract 6 from 5 (obtain the answer of -1)
6. you now have the equation of ‘14 = 3x-1’
7. add one to both sides (cancel out the negative one and make the opposite side of the equation 15 instead of 14)
8. you now have the equation of ‘15 = 3x’
9. divide both sides by 3 (15 and x)
FINAL ANSWER
x = 5
hope this helps:)

. When 2 times a number is increased by 4,
Alinara [238K]

Answer: The number is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the [number]

<u />

<u>Rephrase the expression</u>

2 times a number is increased by 4, it is the same as 25 decreased by the number

2x+4=25-x

<u>Calculate</u>

Given

2x+4=25-x

Add x on both sides

2x+4+x=25-x+x

3x+4=25

Subtract 4 on both sides

3x+4-4=25-4

3x=21

Divide 3 on both sides

3x/3=21/3

x=7

Hope this helps!! :)

a man covers a distance of 15kn, in 3 hours partly by walking and partly by running. if he walks at 3km/h and runs at 9km/h, fin
irinina [24]
Speed = distance/time
distance = speed * time

let x = time covered by running
15 = run distance + walk distance
15 = 9(x) + 3(3-x)
15 = 9x + 9 - 3x
15 - 9 = 6x
6 = 6x
x = 1 hour

Therefore:
Running distance = speed * time
RD = 9km/hr * 1 hr
RD = 9km

Help! How do I find the answer
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

C) m∠H = 85°

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>KL is the mid-segment of the triangle</em>, and is correlated with line GH, therefore, they are parallel. This means that <em>m∠K = m∠G and m∠L = m∠H</em>, because they are corresponding and on parallel lines.

By substitution, m∠H = 85°
