First you must distribute, multiply 3 by X and get 3x, then multiply 3 by 4 and get 12. Now you have 3x + 12 - 2x + 1, now combine all of the like terms, you should get 1x +13 then subtract 13 by both sides to get your answer

$3(x + 4) - 2 = 2x + 1 \\ \Leftrightarrow 3x + 12 - 2 - 2x - 1 = 0 \\ \Leftrightarrow x + 9 = 0\Leftrightarrow x = - 9$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to do this, you plug the point C (5,6) and the point D (2,2) into the distance formula, which was provided below. x2-x1 is 3, and that squared is 9. y2-y1 is 4, and that squared in 16. When adding 9 and 16 together, you get 25. When taking the square root of 25, you get + or - 5, but since distance cannot be negative on the coordinate plane, you get 5.

Explain how you can compare the cost of two items that are different sizes.

Maru [420]

Answer:

Compare the cost for the each (smallest) unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can calculate the cost per unit

For example :

20 ounces of water of brand A cost 1.50

30 ounces of water of brand A cost 2

20 ounces of water cost 1.50/20 = 0.075 dollar per ounce

30 ounces of water cost 2/30 = 0.0677 dollar per ounce

Your company recently made a purchase of 25 identical tables. The purchase price after adding 5 percent sales tax was 1,706.25.

ELEN [110]

If c = the cost of one table, the cost of all 25 tables before sales tax is 25·c

Since the sales tax is 5%, or 0.05, the sales tax for 25 tables is 25·c·0.05

Adding the sales tax to the original cost of the 25 tables can give you:
25·c + 25·c·0.05 = 1706.25
1.05·25·c = 1706.25
26.25·c = 1706.25
c = $\frac{1706.25}{26.25}$ = 65

so the refund for 5 tables would be 5*65 = $325
