Answer: x = −2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(x−5)−3=5(x−2)+2x

(3)(x)+(3)(−5)+−3=(5)(x)+(5)(−2)+2x(Distribute)

3x+−15+−3=5x+−10+2x

(3x)+(−15+−3)=(5x+2x)+(−10)(Combine Like Terms)

3x+−18=7x+−10

3x−18=7x−10

Step 2: Subtract 7x from both sides.

3x−18−7x=7x−10−7x

−4x−18=−10

Step 3: Add 18 to both sides.

−4x−18+18=−10+18

−4x=8

Step 4: Divide both sides by -4.

-4x / -4 = 8 / -4

x = −2

Answer:

PQR is an equilateral triangle because its sides are equal. ... Since radius of the incircle is equal to the side length of the hexagon, all sides of the triangle are equal, thus, creating an equilateral triangle. I hope this helped.

Solve the inequality

const2013 [10]

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\mathsf{\dfrac{x}{4}\geq-6}$

$\large\text{SUBSITUTE 1 where x is at temporarily, so we can simplify both}\\\large\text{sides of your inequality}$

$\large\text{NEW EQUATION: }\mathsf{\dfrac{1}{4}x \geq-6}$

$\large\text{MULTIPLY by 6 to BOTH SIDES}$

$\mathsf{4\times\dfrac{}{}x \geq 4\times-6}$

$\large\text{CANCEL out: }\mathsf{4\times\dfrac{1}{4}}\large\text{ because that gives you the value of 1}$

$\large\text{KEEP: }\mathsf{4\times-6}\large\text{ because it helps you find out the number or value}\\\large\text{that is being compared to your x-value}$

$\mathsf{4\times-6=\boxed{\bf -24}}$

$\large\text{So, the number \underline{-24} is being compared to your x-value}$

$\bullet\large\text{ Your circle is CLOSED and it is shaded to the right side of the}\\\large\text{number}\huge\checkmark\\\\\\\large\textsf{Random fact about the inequality}\uparrow$

$\boxed{\boxed{\large\text{Answer: \bf x}\bf \geq\large\textsf{\bf -24 \huge\text{Option D.}}}}\huge\checkmark$

$\large\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}$
