Mathematics

Svet_ta [14]3 years ago

Answer:

<u><em>x=2</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

addition property of equality is adding the same number to both sides of an equation does not change the equation.

subtraction property of equality is subtracting the same number from both sides of an equation does not change the equation.

distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac

add 7 both sides of an equation.

3x-7+7=2x-5+7

simplify.

3x=2x+2

subtract 2x both sides of an equation.

3x-2x=2x+2-2x

simplify.

x=2

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

3x - 7 = 2x - 5<em>     add 7 to both sides</em>

3x = 2x + 2         <em>subtract 2x from borh sides</em>

<h3>x = 2</h3>

Check:

L = 3(2) - 7 = 6 - 7 = -1

R = 2(2) - 5 = 4 - 5 = -1

L = R  CORRECT! :)

The width of a rectangular card is 2 cm lekss than the Tength. The area is 15 cm. Find the length and
Yuri [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area A = 15square cm

Length L = x

Width w = x - 2

Area = L × w

15 = x(x - 2)

15 = x^2 -2x

x^2 -2x - 15 = 0

Solving by factorization

x^2 - 5x + 3x - 15 = 0

(x^2 -5x) + (3x -15) = 0

x(x - 5) + 3(x - 5) = 0

(x + 3)(x - 5) = 0

(x + 3) = 0 or (x - 5) = 0

x = -3 or 5

Since x can't be negative therefore x is 5cm

Length = 5cm

Width = 5-2 = 3cm
