2-x=5(x+14)
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
<span><span>2−x</span>=<span>5<span>(<span>x+14</span>)
</span></span></span>Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
<span><span>2−x</span>=<span>5<span>(<span>x+14</span>)
</span></span></span><span>Simplify:
</span><span><span><span>−x</span>+2</span>=<span><span>5x</span>+70
</span></span>Step 2: Subtract 5x from both sides.
<span><span><span><span>−x</span>+2</span>−<span>5x</span></span>=<span><span><span>5x</span>+70</span>−<span>5x
</span></span></span><span><span><span>−<span>6x</span></span>+2</span>=70
</span>Step 3: Subtract 2 from both sides.
<span><span><span><span>−<span>6x</span></span>+2</span>−2</span>=<span>70−2
</span></span><span><span>−<span>6x</span></span>=68
</span>Step 4: Divide both sides by -6.
<span><span><span>−<span>6x/</span></span><span>−6</span></span>=<span>68/<span>−6
</span></span></span><span>x=<span><span>−34/</span>3

Answer:
20 days
Step-by-step explanation:
t = time required by one worker to complete the job alone
(t+8) = time required by the other worker
So:
7.5/ t + 7.5/ (t + 8) = 1
Solve for t.
...
t = 12 days, the first guy working alone
The other worker would finish the job in 20 days.
Perpendicular = opposite sign and reciprocal slope
Slope would be 3
Y = 3x + b, plug in point
9 = 3(5) + b, b = -6
Solution: y = 3x - 6
Answer:
C.) 1 5/b boxes
Number of boxes left over
= 3 - 1/2 - 2/3
Convert each fraction to one in terms of the LCM:
= 18/6 - 3/6 - 4/6
= 11/6
= 1 5/6 boxes.
Y = 3000x + 28000
y = 2800x + 30000
3000x + 28000 = 2800x + 30000
200x = 2000
x = 10
The salaries will be the same after 10 years.
