Question

5x−2.5+6x−3= ___ (2x−1)

Answer 1

Answer:

5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

So, this is a simple factoring problem. The answer is 5.5(2x-1). So, heres how we get that answer.

So, factoring is basically breaking down the problem into smaller parts. So once we simplify the problem, we can factor it.

Simplify by combining like terms: 5x+6x= 11x and -2.5-3=-5.5

Now we have 11-5.5=?

so, we need to have (2x-1) in our answer because the problem asks for that in the answer.

We need to find a number that satisfies the equation and answer

so, 5.5(2x) is 11x, and 5.5(-1) is 5.5.

5.5 satisfies the equation, therefore is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find a number that satisfies the equation and answer

so, 5.5(2x) is 11x, and 5.5(-1) is 5.5.

5.5 satisfies the equation, therefore the missing digit would be 5.5
