-9x-9=-2x+5

Then add 9+14

-9x=-2x+14

Then add 2+-9

-7x=14

So x=-2

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

So we are given the equation -3(3x + 3) = -2x + 5 and we are solving for x. We will have to try to get the equation into the form x = _. That would be our answer.

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

Distribute the -3 on the left side.

-9x - 9 = -2x + 5

Add 2x to both sides to get rid of the -2x on the right side.

-9x - 9 + 2x = 5

Simplify.

-7x - 9 = 5

Add 9 to both sides to get rid of the - 9 on the left side.

-7x = 5 + 9

Simplify.

-7x = 14

Divide both sides by -7 to get rid of the coefficient of -7 on the left side.

x = 14 ÷ (-7)

Simplify.

x = -2

The answer is x = -2.

I hope you find my answer helpful. :)

Which equation could be used to find the length of the hypotenuse?

Julli [10]

Answer:

2^2 +5^2 = c^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for c

a^2 + b^2 =c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

2^2 +5^2 = c^2

4+25 = c^2

29 =c^2

Sarah needs 10 feet of fabric for a project she is working on, but the store only sells the fabric in meters. One meter of fabri

Aleks [24]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The fabric will cost $4.58

D.$4.58

Since it's a conversion exercise, we need to pay special attention to the conversion procedure.

From the statement we know that:

$1ft=0.305m$

So, if she needs 10 feet of fabric, we need to convert it to meters, and then, calculate its cost.

We have that:

$10*1ft=10*0.305m\\\\10ft=3.05m$

Now, we have that each meter of fabric cost $1.50, so, 3.05m of fabric will cost:

$\frac{1m}{1.50(dollars)}=\frac{3.05m}{cost}\\\\cost=\frac{3.05m*1.50(dollars)}{1m}=4.575(dollars)=4.58(dollars)$

Hence, we have that the cost of the fabric will be $4.58.

The correct option is: D.$4.58

Have a nice day!
