The equation is already set up for you. All you need to do is solve for x, the number of hours.
23 + 3x = 5x + 7 original equation
23 - 7 = 5x - 3x combine like terms by subtracting 7 and 3x from both sides
16 = 2x simplify
16/2 = x divide both sides by 2 to isolate x
8 = x solve for x
Therefore, the answer is 8 hrs.
Answer:
-26
Step-by-step explanation:
2+2−(5)(6)=
-26
-- The area of the long skinny piece on top is (6 x 33) = 198
-- The length of the dotted line between the top and bottom pieces is (33-21) = 12
-- The area of the bottom piece is (12 x 15) = 180
-- The area of the whole thing is (198 + 180) = 378
-- The perimeter of the whole thing is (33 + 6 + 21 + 15 + 12 + 15 + 6) = 108
X = 360 - (122+58+58)
x = 360 - 238
x = 122
