Hey there!☺

Answer:\boxed{x=\frac{-13}{2}}

Explanation:

-(2x+5)+14=22 Equation

−(2x+5)+14=22  Simplify both sides

−2x + −5 + 14 = 22 Distribute

(−2x) + (−5+14) = 22 Combine Like Terms

-2x + 9 = 22

-2x + 9 - 9 = 22 - 9 Subtract 9 from both sides

-2x = 13

-2x/-2 = 13/-2

-13/2 Add the negative to 13

x = -13/2

Hope this helps!

Your cousin renews his apartment lease and pays a new monthly rent. His new rent is calculated by applying a discount of $50 to
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

  • $1100

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the rent be x

<u>Discounted rent </u>

  • x - $50

<u>Increase applied</u>

  • 10%

<u>Final rent:</u>

  • (x - 50) + 10% = (x - 50)*1.1

<u>We know this is equal to x + 5% = 1.05x, comparing now</u>

  • 1.1(x - 50) = 1.05x
  • 1.1x - 1.05x = 55
  • 0.05x = 55
  • x = 55/0.05
  • x = $1100

79=11x+13 <br> Solve each equation by using the properties of equality and justify each step
neonofarm [45]

Solution: X=6

Detailed explanation:

In this problem we're asked to find "x" or the unknown.

The first step is to subtract 11x from both sides.

---\mapsto\boldsymbol{-11x+79=13}

Next, subtract 79 from both sides.

---\mapsto\boldsymbol{-11x=-66}

To finish this off, divide both sides by -11.

---\mapsto\boldsymbol{x=6}

Voila! There's our answer!

<h2><em>Cheers!! ^-^</em></h2>
