Answer:

x = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{1}{3}$ (x - 2) = $\frac{1}{5}$ (x + 4) + 2

Multiply through by 15 to clear the fractions

5(x - 2) =3(x + 4) + 30 ← distribute and simplify both sides

5x - 10 = 3x + 12 + 30, that is

5x - 10 = 3x + 42 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

2x - 10 = 42 ( add 10 to both sides )

2x = 52 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 26

How many terms are in the algebraic expression 2y+3x-5x^2-g? 2 3 4 5

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

2y+3x-5x^2-g contains 4 terms that cannot be further simplified without know the values for the variables y, x, and g. Although 3x and -5x^2 contain the same variable x, since they have have different exponents, we can not directly add them together without knowing the value of x.

The answer is 4.
