3(x - 5) – 3 = 5(x - 2) + 2x

Mathematics
1 answer:
Arlecino [84]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x=−2

Step-by-step explanation:       Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(x−5)−3=5(x−2)+2x

(3)(x)+(3)(−5)+−3=(5)(x)+(5)(−2)+2x(Distribute)

3x+−15+−3=5x+−10+2x

(3x)+(−15+−3)=(5x+2x)+(−10)(Combine Like Terms)

3x+−18=7x+−10

3x−18=7x−10

Step 2: Subtract 7x from both sides.

3x−18−7x=7x−10−7x

−4x−18=−10

Step 3: Add 18 to both sides.

−4x−18+18=−10+18

−4x=8

Step 4: Divide both sides by -4.

−4x

−4

=

8

−4

x=−2

A theatre contains 441 seats and the ticket prices for a recent play were ​$60 for adults and ​$16 for children. If the total pr
MaRussiya [10]
14,800=60x+16y
x+y=441
that implies y=441-x so
14,800=60x+16(441-x)
14,800=60x+16*441-16x
14,800-16*441=44x
7744=44x
x=176 kids and 441-176 adults

aksik [14]
Area of trapezoid = (B1 + B2)h/2

B1 = 15 in. + 4 in. + 6 in. = 25 in.
B2 = 15 in.
h = 7 in.

Area = (25 in. + 15 in.)(7 in.)/2 = 140 in.^2
