Question: 3(x-2)+5x=18

First step, distribute:
3x-6+5x=18

Next, combine x’s:
8x-6=18

Then, bring -6 to the other side, the side will change to positive, so you will add:
8x=18+6
8x=24

Lastly, bring 8 to the other side to find x, so you will need to divide 24 by 8:
x=24/8
x=3

Therefore, your answer is x=3.

Hope this helped. Let me know if you have any more questions:)

How many pounds of a 23% zinc alloy must be mixed with a 42% zinc alloy to make 516 pounds of a 37.25% zinc alloy?
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

(A)129 Pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of 23% zink alloy

Therefore:

Since the total result is 516 pounds

The number of pounds of 42% zink alloy =516-x pounds

We then have the resulting equation:

0.23x+0.42(516-x)=0.3725*516

0.23x+216.72-0.42x=192.21

Colect like terms

0.23x-0.42x=192.21-216.72

-0.19x=-24.51

Divide both sides by 129

x=129 pounds

Therefore, the number of pounds of 23% zink alloy that must be mixed is 129 pounds.

Each of four friends orders a sweatshirt from a catalog. There are 16 colors of sweatshirts, 7 of which are all cotton and 9 of
sashaice [31]
<span>There are 16 sweatshirts in total.
7 of which are cotton. 
There are 4 friends.
Say they all choose cotton sweatshirts,
First friend: (7/16)
Second friend: (6/15)
Third friend: (5/14)
Fourth friend: (4/13)

As you can see, there is a deduction in total number of sweatshirts available to be chosen and also in the total number of cotton sweatshirts available to be chosen.

Multiply these together = </span><span>(7/16)*(6/15)*(5/14)*(4/13)
= </span><span>0.01923076923 = 1.92%

1.92% is the probability all friends order cotton sweatshirts</span>

Find the slope for (3,-6)(-1,4)<br> show the steps
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

y= -5/2x + 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

(3,-6). y=mx+b or -6=-5/2 × 3+b, or solving for b: b=-6-(-5/2)(3). b=3/2.

(-1,4). y=mx+b or 4=-5/2 × -1+b, or solving for b: b=4-(-5/2)(-1). b=3/2.

Plugging in the two points, hence y= -5/2x + 3/2
