The answer is 2(x+4)-5x+2 .
Step by step:
Distribute the 2 through the parentheses--> 2x+8 -5x + 2
Then collect the like terms:
-3x+8+2
Then add 8 and the 2
-3x + 10
4x (2x - 6)
8x - 24x
= -16x
Answer:
56
or
369
or
258
Step-by-step explanation:
First, subtract 5 from both sides, leaving you with 5

- 30x - 5 = 0
If you use the quadratic formula (a=5), (b=-30), (c=-5)
x=-b +/- √b²-4ac / 2a
x= -(30) +/- √(30)² - 4(5) * (-5) / 2(5)
x= 30 +/- √1000 / 10
x = 3 +/- √10
Answer:
a) 3x-5=16
b) 30cm
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 5(x-1)=2(x+8)
5x-5=2x+16
5x-2x-5=16
3x-5=16
b) solving the equation gives x=7
put x=7 into first line, 5(7-1)=30cm
to check we can place it into second one as well
2(7+8)=30cm
