We need to add like terms and distribute before we try to isolate X.
10x+3=8x+4-2
10x+3=8x+2

Now let's isolate x. We should start with subtracting 8x from both sides.
2x+3=2
Now, let's subtract 3 from both sides.
2x=-1
Now divide each side by 2.
X=-0.5
We now know x is -0.5, so let's check.
5(-0.5)+5(-0.5)+3=4[2(-0.5)+1]-2
-2.5-2.5+3=4(0)-2
-5+3=0-2
-2=-2

So, X= -0.5

A test worth 125 points has 49 questions on it. Multiple Choice questions are worth 2 points each and short answer questions are
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

There were 40 2-point questions and 9 3-point questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this situation, write two equations. One for the number of questions and one for the number of points.

Let x be the number of 2 point questions.

Let y be the number of 5 point questions.

x + y = 49

Now since x are each worth 2 points, the total points is 2x.

And since y are each worth 5 points, the total points is 5y.

So 2x + 5y = 125. Substitute one of the equations into the other to solve for the variables.

x + y = 49 becomes x = 49 - y. Substitute it.

2(49-y) + 5y = 125

98 - 2y + 5y = 125

98 + 3y = 125

3y = 27

y = 9

Substitute y = 9 back into the equation x = 49 - y to find x.

x = 49 - 9

x = 40

In ΔSTU, m∠S=(11x+3)∘,∠T=(2x+16)∘, and m∠U=(x+7)∘. Find .
frozen [14]

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

In ΔSTU ,

m∠S = (11x+3)° ; m∠T = (2x+16)° ; m∠U = (x+7)°

According to angle sum property of a triangle , sum of all the interior angles of the triangle is 180°.

So,

11x + 3 + 2x + 16 + x + 7 = 180

=  > 14x + 26 = 180

=  > 14x = 180 - 26 = 154

=  > x =  \frac{154}{14}  = 11

THe equation of the graph line is 2x-3y=12 what is the x-intercept of the graph
katrin2010 [14]

2x-3y=12


Make y substitute 0


2x-3(0)=12


2x= 12


X= 12-2


X= 10


X-intercept is 10

11 hours 18 min 36 sec to hours
zlopas [31]
I'm not really sure about this math but I tried to answer it for you

1)Convert 11 hours to minutes = 660 minutes. 11 hours x 60 mins=660
2)Add the 18 minutes to 660 =678 minutes
3) 678 divided by 60 mins = 11.3 hours, but we still have the 36 seconds remaining so I didn't exactly divide 678 minutes by 60, but I divided 678.36 by 60 which gave me 11.306 hours.

That's it I truly apologise if this is wrong. But if you figure out the right method please show me and others who may have done it this way or another way, so please share. GOOD LUCK.
