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

3[5x - 4] - [-30 - 45x]
Nimfa-mama [501]
3(5x - 4) - (-30-45x)
= 15x - 12 + 30 + 45x <- Distributive Property
=60x + 18 <- Combine Like Terms

If you're trying to solve for 0:

0 = 60 x + 18
-18 = 60x <- Subtracted 18 from both sides
x = \frac{-18}{60} = \frac{-9}{30} <- Divided both sides by 60 and then simplified.

x = \frac{-9}{30} <- Fraction Form
x = -0.3 <- Decimal Form

Give Brainliest for simple answer plz :P

John has taken out a loan for college. He started paying off the loan with a first payment of $100. Each month he pays, he wants
sergeinik [125]
<span>Let a_0 = 100, the first payment. Every subsequent payment is the prior payment, times 1.1. In order to represent that, let a_n be the term in question. The term before it is a_n-1. So a_n = 1.1 * a_n-1. This means that a_19 = 1.1*a_18, a_18 = 1.1*a_17, etc. To find the sum of your first 20 payments, this sum is equal to a_0+a_1+a_2+...+a_19. a_1 = 1.1*a_0, so a_2 = 1.1*(1.1*a_0) = (1.1)^2 * a_0, a_3 = 1.1*a_2 = (1.1)^3*a_3, and so on. So the sum can be reduced to S = a_0 * (1+ 1.1 + 1.1^2 + 1.1^3 + ... + 1.1^19) which is approximately $5727.50</span>
