3 times (2x + 5) is 6x + 15.

6x + 15 = 9 + 3x.

Group by like terms. 6 = -3x

Divide to get x by itself. 6/-3 = -2

Thus -2 = x

I’m stuck and I would really like your help.
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

Answer: 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

2/5x-4=8-3/5x.

We want to tank x out of the denominator by multiplying x on both sides.

2/5-4x=8x-3/5

Now we simplify

-12x=-1

x=1/12

Put x in the equation to check it

The painting shown at the right has an area of 220. What is the value of x?
tangare [24]

Answer:

9.76

Step-by-step explanation:

area of a rectangle = length * breadth

length = (2x + 3)

breadth = x

given area is 220 sq. inches.

thus,

220 = x * (2x+3)

220 = 2x² +3x

2x² + 3x -220 = 0

x = (-b + √ ( b²-4ac) ) ÷ 2a

x = ( -3 + √ ( 3² - 4*2*220) ) ÷ 2*2

x =9.76
