Answer:
1. x = 7
2. x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation: 2*x+5*(6*x-9)-(179)=0
Pull out like factors 6x - 9 = 3 • (2x - 3)
(2x + 15 • (2x - 3)) - 179 = 0
Pull out like factors: 32x - 224 = 32 • (x - 7)
Solve: x-7 = 0
Add 7 to both sides of the equation = 7
2. Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation: -40-(6*x-5*(-4*x-18))=0
Pull out like factors: -4x - 18 = -2 • (2x + 9)
-40 - (6x - -10 • (2x + 9)) = 0
Pull out like factors: -26x - 130 = -26 • (x + 5)
-26 • (x + 5) = 0
Solve: x+5 = 0
Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation: x = -5

P-5=3s-15 because Pete is 20 and Sam is 10. 20-5= 15 and 3(10)-15 also equals 15. The answer is C.
