3(x+1) = 2(x-5) Solve for x

Answer:

x = -13

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, we will have to get the equation in a form with x by itself on one side and a value on the right side.

3(x + 1) = 2(x - 5)

Distribute the 3 on the left side and the 5 on the right side.

3x + 3 = 2x - 10

Subtract 3 from both sides.

3x = 2x - 13

Subtract 2x from both sides.

x = -13

And now we have the answer of x = -13.

I hope you find my answer helpful.

Answer:

x = -13

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+1) = 2(x-5)

3x + 3 = 2x - 10

3x - 2x = -10 - 3

x = -13

The population of a local species of flies can be found using an infinite geometric series where a1 = 940 and the common ratio i
alex41 [277]

A. Sigma notation

The formula for finding the nth value of the geometric series is given as:

an = a1 * r^n

Where,

an = nth value of the series

<span>a1 = 1st value in the geometric series = 940</span>

r = common ratio = 1/5

n = nth order

The sigma notation for the sum of this infinite geometric series is therefore,

B. Sum of the infinite geometric series

The formula for calculating the sum of an infinite geometric series is given as:

<span>S = a1  / (1 – r)</span>

Substituting the given values:

S = 940 / (1 – 1/5)

<span>S = 1,175</span>

10x + 3y = 19<br> y = 2x + 5
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

x = 1/4

y = 5 2/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two equations

1. 10x + 3y = 19

2. y = 2x + 5

Substitute 2x + 5 for y in the first equation

We have

10x + 3y = 19

10x + 3(2x + 5) = 19

Expand the bracket

10x + 3 X 2x + 3 X 5 = 19

10x + 6x + 15 = 19

16x + 15 = 19

Subtract 15 from both sides to eliminate 15 on the left

16x + 15 - 15 = 19 - 15

16x = 4

Divide both sides by 16 to isolate x

16x/16 = 4/16

x = 1/4

Now, substitute 1/4 for x in either equation to get y.

Using equation 2 , we have

y = 2x + 5

= 2(1/4) + 5

= 2/4 + 5

LCM of the denominator is 4.

Divide the LCM by the denominators and multiply the results by the numerators. Also, the LCM becomes the denominator of the results

Therefore

= 2 + 20/4

= 22/4

y= 5 2/4

x = 1/4 , y = 5 2/4

Candy counted to 600 by 6's, beginning with 6. Danny counted to 600 by 4's beginning with 4. How many the numbers that candy cou
KATRIN_1 [288]

Step-by-step explanation:

If we count for both numbers up to 36, we start seeing a pattern...

Candy: 6 12 18 24 30 36

Danny: 4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36

Every other number in Candy's counting is also counted by Danny. So here's what we'll do:

  • Divide 600 by 6

600/6 = 100

This is how many numbers Candy counted overall.

  • Divide the result by 2.

100/2 = 50

This is how many numbers Danny counted that were also numbers Candy counted.

Answer:

50 of the numbers that candy counted were also counted by Danny.
