So first you distribute the 5 to the x and the +2 and get
5x+10=3(x+8)
then you distribute the 3 to the other x and the +8 and get
5x+10=3x+24
subtract 3x from both sides
2x+10=24
subtract 10 from both sides and get
2x=14
divide both sides by 2 and get
x=7
Answer:
<h3>
B.</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between two any points <em>a</em> i <em>b</em> is |a-b| as we don't know which of them is larger number.
So:
a=-2 and b=1 means distance |-2-1| = |-3| = 3
{If we know the value of given points we can subtract the smaller one from the larger. It also works: -2<1, so the distance would be 2-(-1)=2+1=3}

=11.5
