Answer:  -3

Step-by-step explanation:

First... Distribute the -3 into x and -8. You'll have -3x + 24 + 7x = 12

Next... Subtract 24 on both sides (-3x + 24 - 24 + 7x = 12 - 24)

                                 -3x + 7x = -12

Add like terms to get 4x = -12

Finally.. you divide 4 on both and you have...

x = -3

Solve for the vector x + 2a - b in terms of the vectors a and b. (If needed, use BOLD vector form on calcPad Vector menu.) x + 2
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

x+2a-b=5x+5a-2*3a+2*b

x+2a-b=5x+5a-6a+2b

x+2a-b=5x-a+2b

5x-x=2a-b+a-2b

4x=3a-3b

4 x=3(a-b)

x=3/4(a-b)

Y- (z + x - 2); use x = 4, y = 5, and z = 2<br><br> Please evaluate using the values given
frez [133]
It's gonna be 5 - (2 + 4 -2)
according to order of operations, we have to solve inside the parentheses/brackets first (from left to right)

therefore, it will be
5 - (6 - 2)
=5 - (4)

Next, distribute the negative to the four and add normally.

= 5 - 4
= 1
