(x + 2) + 15 = 2x

x+ 17 = 2x

x (-x) + 17 = 2x (-x)

17 = x

x = 17

hope this helps

2+x=2x-15
>> 2+15=2x-x
>> 17 = x

So the answer is <u>17</u>

The pipe fitting industry had 546.5 thousand jobs in 2015 and is expected to decline at an average rate of 3 thousand jobs per y
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

The amount of jobs from fitting industry shall decline in 5.5 percent from 2015 to 2025.

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to the assumption of a yearly average rate, a linear function model shall be used. The expected amount of jobs (n) after a certain amount of years (t) is given by the following formula:

n = n_{o} + \frac{\Delta n}{\Delta t}\cdot t

Where:

n_{o} - Initial amount of jobs in pipe fitting industry, measured in thousands.

\frac{\Delta n}{\Delta t} - Average yearly rate, measured in thousands per year. (A decline is indicated by a negative sign)

If n_{o} = 546.5, t = 2025-2015 = 10\,years and \frac{\Delta n}{\Delta t} = -3\,\frac{1}{years}, then:

n = 546.5+\left(-3\,\frac{1}{year}\right)\cdot (10\,years)

n = 516.5

The percent change in jobs from pipe fitting industry is calculated as follows:

\%n = \left(1-\frac{n}{n_{o}}\right)\times 100\,\%

\% n = \left(1-\frac{516.5}{546.5}\right)\times 100\,\%

\%n = 5.5\,\%

The amount of jobs from fitting industry shall decline in 5.5 percent from 2015 to 2025.

3. Consider the expression 4x + 15.
Softa [21]
Example of a real world problem:
Chris is starting a handmade card business. In the beginning, he starts off with 15 cards and makes 4 new cards every week.

The variable (x) would represent the number of weeks that passed.

Example 2:
Sam decides to start saving up money to buy a video game. She starts off with 15 dollars and gets an allowance of 4 dollars every day.

The variable (x) would represent the number of days that pass.

To come up with your own equation, most times, x represents a unit of time. The zero value (the number that isn’t being multiplied by a variable) in the equation always represents your starting value, and the coefficient of the variable represents how much of something is being gained or added after a duration of time.

I hope this helps!
