Answer: x = -9

steps

Simplifying

14 + -2(x + 8) = 5x + -1(3x + -34)

Reorder the terms:

14 + -2(8 + x) = 5x + -1(3x + -34)

14 + (8 * -2 + x * -2) = 5x + -1(3x + -34)

14 + (-16 + -2x) = 5x + -1(3x + -34)

Combine like terms: 14 + -16 = -2

-2 + -2x = 5x + -1(3x + -34)

Reorder the terms:

-2 + -2x = 5x + -1(-34 + 3x)

-2 + -2x = 5x + (-34 * -1 + 3x * -1)

-2 + -2x = 5x + (34 + -3x)

Reorder the terms:

-2 + -2x = 34 + 5x + -3x

Combine like terms: 5x + -3x = 2x

-2 + -2x = 34 + 2x

Solving

-2 + -2x = 34 + 2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-2 + -2x + -2x = 34 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: -2x + -2x = -4x

-2 + -4x = 34 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-2 + -4x = 34 + 0

-2 + -4x = 34

Add '2' to each side of the equation.

-2 + 2 + -4x = 34 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0

0 + -4x = 34 + 2

-4x = 34 + 2

Combine like terms: 34 + 2 = 36

-4x = 36

Divide each side by '-4'.

x = -9

The perimeter of a regular hexagon is 6x + 30. What is the length<br> of each side of the hexagon?
Fofino [41]

Answer:

x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

This is actually rather simple to figure out. Simply divide 6x + 30 by 6. That should get x + 5 for the length of one side.

At 9 AM there are 37 bacteria in a dish and they start doubling every 15 minutes. At t = 274 minutes an
givi [52]

Answer:

5,035,041

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential growth:

y = a(1 + r)^{x}

y = future amount

a = initial amount

r = growth rate

x = number of periods

Part A: growth at the rate of doubling each 15 minutes for 274 minutes

Each period is 15 minutes.

a = 37

x = 274/15 = number of periods

r = 100%

y = 37(1 + 1)^{\frac{274}{15}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Exponential decay:

y = a(1 - r)^{x}

The growth takes place from 9 AM for 274 minutes, or 4 hours and 34 minutes, until 1:34 PM. The decay goes from 1:34 PM to 7 PM, or 5 hours and 26 minutes, or 326 minutes

Part B: decay at the rate of 6% each 24 minutes for 326 minutes

y = 37(1 + 1)^{\frac{274}{15}}(1 - 0.06)^{\frac{326}{24}}

y = 5035041
