Simplify 1/3(6x - 15) to 6x - 15/3
6x - 15/3 = 1/2(10x - 4)
Factor out the common term; 3
3(2x - 5)/3 = 1/2(10x - 4)
Cancel out 3
2x - 5 = 1/2(10x - 4)
Simplify 1/2(10x - 4) to 10x - 4/2
2x - 5 = 10x - 4/2
Factor out the common term; 2
2x - 5 = 2(5x - 2)/2
Cancel out 2
2x - 5 = 5x - 2
Subtract 2x from both sides
-5 = 5x - 2 - 2x
Simplify 5x - 2 - 2x to 3x - 2
-5 = 3x - 2
Add 2 to both sides
-5 + 2 = 3x
Simplify -5 + 2 to -3
-3 = 3x
Divide both sides by 3
- 1 = x
Switch sides
<u>x = -1</u>
The correct answer is option D which is p ³+ 2; when p = 3 the number of plants is 29.
The complete question is given below:-
liana cubed the number of flowering plants in her garden, then added 2 vegetable plants. Let p represent the original number of plants in her garden. Which shows an expression to represent the total number of plants in her garden and the total number of plants if p = 3? 3 p minus 2; when p = 3 the number of plants is 7 3 p + 2; when p = 3 the number of plants is 11 p cubed minus 2; when p = 3 the number of plants is 25 p cubed + 2; when p = 3 the number of plants is 29

What is an expression?</h3>
Expression in maths is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
The given expression is liana cubed the number of flowering plants in her garden, then added 2 vegetable plants.
If she cubed the number of the plants will be:- P³
Now she added two vegetable plants:- 2
Then the equation will be:- p³ + 2. Now we will put the value of p = 3 in the equation.
Total number of the plants = ( 3 )³ + 2 = 27 + 2 = 29
Therefore the correct answer is option D which is p³+ 2; when p = 3 the number of plants is 29.

1: 14 ft
2: 18
3: 11; 28
4: 8; 96
5: a = 5x3
6: a = 8x8
7: 1x42, 2x21, 3x14, and 6x7. 6x7 probably makes the most sense.
Perimeter=106ft
Area=448ft^2
Make sure you remember to subtract various values to find the length of missing sides.
1+3x /4= 5/2
1+3x = 5*4/2
1+3x =10
3x =9
x = 3
