To solve for x, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation:

16x - 3(4x + 5) = 2x + 9          Distribute -3 into (4x + 5)

16x + (-3)4x + (-3)5 = 2x + 9

16x - 12x - 15 = 2x + 9         Combine like terms (terms that have the same variable and power/exponent), which are 16x - 12x, as they have the same variable "x" and a power/exponent of 1.

4x - 15 = 2x + 9        Subtract 2x on both sides

4x - 2x - 15 = 2x - 2x + 9

2x - 15 = 9     Add 15 on both sides

2x - 15 + 15 = 9 + 15

2x = 24          Divide 2 on both sides to get "x" by itself

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{24}{2}

x = 12

How to solve the equation and what is the answer to the question
Molodets [167]

Answer:

7.73cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for area of a circle is a= pie r^2. Now plug in pie as 3.14 and you radius which would be 3 because the image is showing the diameter as 6 and radius is half the diameter. The equation is now a=3.14 x3x3. The area of the circle would be 28.27cm^2.

Now we must find the area of the square. To do this multiple the diameter which is 6 times itself. 6x6=36. The area of the square is 36cm^2.

Now subtract the square area from the circle area. 36 - 28.27 = 7.73. The left over plywood would be 7.73cm^2.

I hope this helps! If you have anymore questions feel free to ask! :D

Find the first, fourth, and eighth terms of the sequence. A(n) = –5 • 3n–1 please help me
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

First term: -10

Fourth term: -55

Eighth term: -115

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming the means -5(3n-1). To find the first term, plug in 1. You will get -5(3*1-1) or -5*2 or -10.

To find the fourth term, plug in 4. You will get -5(3*4-1) or -5*11 or -55.

To find the eighth term, plug in 8. You will get -5(3*8-1) or -5*23 or -115.

So the answers are -10, -55, and -115.
