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

The Euler's formula state that, the number of vertices, minus the number of edges, plus the number of faces, is equal to two

V - E + F = 2
clear F
F=2-V+E

in this problem
V=8
E=14
F=?
so
F=2-8+14
F=8
