Answer:
A. -5x = -23
Step-by-step explanation:
First you have to simplify the equation - 4(x - 5) + 8x = 9x - 3
-4x + 20 + 8x = 9x -3
9x - 4x = 20 + 3
5x = 23
=> equivalent to answer A.
13: multiply the amount by the tax rate (to make a percent a decimal move the decimal point 2 places to the left) and add the original amount and the taxed amount together. For 12 do above but then multiply the total by the tip rate and add together (basically the same as the tax again) :) I hope this helps
Answer:
-11x
Step-by-step explanation:
-7x + (-3x) + (-x)
= -7x - 3x - x
=-11x
Sorry for my bad handwriting a notebook lol
Answer:
Rectangle A's length = 22 ft., Rectangle B's length = 44 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we know that the length of Rectangle B is twice the length of Rectangle A, we know that 2*(3x + 7) = Rectangle B's length.
We must set this equation to the dimensions already given for Rectangle B, which gives us 2(3x + 7) = 2 (5x - 3).
Using the distributive property gives us 6x + 14 = 10x - 6 and solving for x gives us x = 5.
We must plug five into the original dimensions to find that the lengths of Rectangles A and B are 22 feet and 44 feet respectively.
