Both equal g(x) so put them together

-x+5=3 then solve for x

-x=3-5
-x=-2
-2 divided by -x =2

x=2

Whats the answer for 6b+7-2b=1+5b

Alecsey [184]

$Solution,6b+7-2b=1+5b\quad :\quad b=6$

$Steps:$

$6b+7-2b=1+5b$

$\mathrm{Group\:like\:terms}, 6b-2b+7=1+5b$

$\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:6b-2b=4b, 4b+7=1+5b$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}7\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}, 4b+7-7=1+5b-7$

$\mathrm{Simplify}, 4b=5b-6$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}5b\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}, 4b-5b=5b-6-5b$

$\mathrm{Simplify}, -b=-6$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-1, \frac{-b}{-1}=\frac{-6}{-1}$

$\mathrm{Simplify}, b=6$

$\mathrm{The\:Correct\:Answer\:is\:b=6}$

$\mathrm{Hope\:This\:Helps!!!}$

A mathematics book has 360 pages, of which 50% are on algebra, 20% on geometry and the remainder on arithmetic how many pages ar

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

30% of the pages are arithmetic, or 108 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

50% are on algebra = 180 pages

360 x .5 = 180

20% are on geometry = 72 pages

360 x .2 = 72

30% are on arithmetic = 108

180 + 72 + 108 = 360 pages

50% + 20% + 30% = 100%
