<em>Answer:</em>

<em>x = 3</em>

<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>

<em>5(x - 2) – x – 5 = -3</em>

<em>5x - 10 - x - 5 = - 3</em>

<em>5x - x = 10 + 5 - 3</em>

<em>4x = 12</em>

<em>x = 12 : 4</em>

<em>x = 3</em>

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5(x−2)−x−5=−3

(5)(x)+(5)(−2)+−x+−5=−3(Distribute)

5x+−10+−x+−5=−3

(5x+−x)+(−10+−5)=−3(Combine Like Terms)

4x+−15=−3

4x−15=−3

Step 2: Add 15 to both sides.

4x−15+15=−3+15

4x=12

Step 3: Divide both sides by 4.

\frac{4x}{4} =\frac{12}{4}

x=3

Solve x2 – 12x + 59 = 0 for x.
mr_godi [17]
59 is a tough bird to deal with; its only factors are 1 and 59.

Thus, forget about factoring.  Instead, use the quadratic formula, or solve the equation by completing the square.

Please note:  x2 is ambiguous.  Please write x^2 to indicate "the square of 2."

Here you have 1x^2 - 12x + 59 = 0, for which a=1, b=-12 and c=59.

Use the quadratic formula:  x=[-b plus or minus sqrt(b^2-4ac)] / (2a)

to find the two roots.  Notice that the "discriminant" b^2 - 4ac will be negative, meaning that your two roots will be "complex."

If you roll two fair six-sided dice, what is the probability that the sum is 5 or lower?
sesenic [268]
The possible combination are
2=1+1
3=1+2; 2+1
4=1+3; 2+2; 3+1

So the probability is 6/36=1/6

Hope this helped!
