remember that you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides
remember the distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac
also commutative property of addition: a+b=b+a
so
6(6x-2)+8(1-5x)=2x
distribute
6(6x-2)=6(6x)+6(-2)=36x-12
8(1-5x)=8(1)+8(-5x)=8-40x
36x-12+8-40x=2x
group like terms
36x-40x-12+8=2x
add like terms
-4x-4=2x
add 4x to both sides to get x by itself
4x-4x-4=2x+4x
0-4=6x
-4=6x
divide both sides by 6
-4/6=(6x)/6
-2/3=x(6/6)
-2/3=x(1)
-2/3=x
x=-2/3
the solution is x=-2/3
Answer:
2x(30+8-6)-20
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Length of the rectangle piece of fabric, l = 5 yards
Width of the rectangular piece of fabric, b = 19 inches
To find,
The length of the diagonal.
Solution,
The relation between Yards and inches is :
1 Yard = 36 inches
5 yards = 180 inches
Let x be the diagonal. It can be calculated as :

Hence, the length of the diagonal is 181 inches
