Steps to solve:

5(x + 1) = 20

~Distributive property

5x + 5 = 20

~Subtract 5 to both sides

5x + 5 - 5 = 20 - 5

~Simplify

5x = 15

~Divide 5 to both sides

5x/5 = 15/5

~Simplify

x = 3

Best of Luck!

Answer: x = 3

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this equation for <em>x,</em> our first step is to distribute the 5 through the parentheses on the left side.

5 times <em>x</em> is 5x and 5 times 1 is 5.

So we have 5x + 5 = 20.

Next, we need to isolate the <em>x</em> term by subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation to get 5x = 15.

Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 5 to get <em>x = 3 </em>which is the solution to our equation.

It's very easy to make careless mistakes when using the distributive property so make sure to check your answer.

In this problem, to check our answer, we substitute 3 back in for <em>x</em> in the original equation and we have 3 + 1 which is 4 and 5 x 4 which is 20 so our answer checks.

Use the context of a 24-pack of soda to explain why 3/8 is NOT equivalent to 5/12 . Answer in number of cans.
juin [17]

Answer:

In a 24 pack of soda, 1/8 would be 3 cans (24/8 = 3). 1/12 would be 2 cans (24/12=2).

So 3/8 is 9 cans of soda and 5/12 is 10 cans of soda, so they are not equivalent because the number of soda cans is not the same.

A company paid $48 for 2 cases of printer paper. Each case contained 12 packages of paper. Next month the company’s office manag
il63 [147K]
Since 2 cases = $48

÷ 48 by 2 to get the cost of one case of paper

48÷2=$24 per case
and each case has 12 pack of paper

so $24 for 12 packs of paper

180÷12=15, which gives you the number of case you need

15 cases × $24= $360 for 180 packs

Find the volume of the given solid: Bounded by the cylinder y^2+z^2=4 and the planes x = 2y, x = 0, z = 0 in the first octant.
rodikova [14]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

<span>V = ∫ dV </span><span>
<span>= ∫0→2 ∫ 0→π/2 ∫ 0→ 2·r·sin(φ) [ r ] dzdφdr </span>
<span>= ∫0→2 ∫ 0→π/2 [ r·2·r·sin(φ) - r·0 ] dφdr </span>
<span>= ∫0→2 ∫ 0→π/2 [ 2·r²·sin(φ) ] dφdr </span>
<span>= ∫0→2 [ -2·r²·cos(π/2) + 2·r²·cos(0) ] dr </span>
<span>= ∫0→2 [ 2·r² ] dr </span>
<span>= (2/3)·2³ - (2/3)·0³ </span>
<span>= 16/3 </span></span>

So the volume of the given solid is 16/3. I am hoping that these answers have satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavors, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.
