Answer:

Below in bold

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(8x - 2) = 9 - 21x

~Divide -3 to everything

8x - 2 = -3 + 7x

~Add 3 to both sides

8x + 1 = 7x

~Subtract 8x to both sides

1 = -x

~Divide -1 to both sides

-1 = x

Note that this isn't the most used way to solve equations because you would typically use distribution to simplify the left side.

Best of Luck!

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

50 gallons of red

30 gallons of blue

Step-by-step explanation:

5 parts of the whole must be red, 3 parts of the whole must be blue, and there are 5+3=8 parts in total.

therefore, 1 part = 80/8 = 10 gallons

red : 5 parts

5×10 = 50 gallons

blue : 3 parts

3×10 = 30 gallons

Show that 6^3-1 is divisible by 5 using our identities
Doss [256]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

How many pairs of whole numbers have sum of 110
alisha [4.7K]
Because the number is even, then the number of possible combinations will be: 110/2 = 55 let's consider a simpler example, the number: 10, then we have: 10+0, 9+1, 8+2, 7+3, 6+4, which is equal to 10/2 =5 combinations. Note: We are not considering permutations between the elements of the sum therefore 10+0, 0+10 counts as one combination.
