The answer is

Final result :

x - 2
Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

1
Simplify —
3
Equation at the end of step 1 :

2 1
((—•x)-7)+((—•x)+5)
3 3
Step 2 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

2.1 Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 3 as the denominator :

5 5 • 3
5 = — = —————
1 3
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

x + 5 • 3 x + 15
————————— = ——————
3 3
Equation at the end of step 2 :

2 (x + 15)
((— • x) - 7) + ————————
3 3
Step 3 :

2
Simplify —
3
Equation at the end of step 3 :

2 (x + 15)
((— • x) - 7) + ————————
3 3
Step 4 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

4.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 3 as the denominator :

7 7 • 3
7 = — = —————
1 3
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

4.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

2x - (7 • 3) 2x - 21
———————————— = ———————
3 3
Equation at the end of step 4 :

(2x - 21) (x + 15)
————————— + ————————
3 3
Step 5 :

Adding fractions which have a common denominator :

5.1 Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

(2x-21) + (x+15) 3x - 6
———————————————— = ——————
3 3
Step 6 :

Pulling out like terms :

6.1 Pull out like factors :

3x - 6 = 3 • (x - 2)

Final result :

x - 2

Goryan [66]

Following order of operations:

3^2 = 9

(10-2) = 8

Now you have :

9 + 8 x 5 -4

Multiplication is next:

9 + 40 -4

Now just add and subtract from left to right:

9 + 40 = 49

49-4 = 45

The answer is 45

Answer:

  none of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem as written cannot have any of the solutions offered.

For any of those choices, the right side expression will be irrational. The left side expression will be rational for any rational value of x, so cannot be equal to the right-side expression.

The solution is an irrational number near ...

  x ≈ 1.33682898582
