Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

2(x + 5) = 26

Step 2: Solve for x

Distribute 2: 2x + 10 = 26

Subtract 10 on both sides: 2x = 16

Divide both sides by 2: x = 8

First we have to Distribute 2(x + 5)= 26
When Distributed: 2*x= 2x + 2*5=10
No we lets bring it down 2x+10=26
Now subtract the 10-10 and you get 0.
Subtract 26-10= 16
Now bring the equation down 2x=16
Then we divide both sides by 2 and that would give us 8 as the answer :)

If a(x + 1) + b(x − 1) − 2 = 0 for all real x, then a =

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

D) 1

Step-by-step explanation:

using the distributive property we have ax+a+bx-b-2=0. because the equation is true for all real x, ax=-bx. this means a-b-2=0 and a=-b. a-b-2=0 becomes a=b+2. then we substitute a for -b and get -b=b+2 which becomes 2b=-2 so b=-1. since a=-b, a=1

levacccp [35]

L = 12 ft
W = 8 ft
One room has area:
A1 = L · W = 12 · 8 = 96 ft²
The total area of rooms:
A = 2 · 96 = 192 ft²

If f(x) = 3x2 + 1 and g(x) = 1 – x, what is the value of (f – g)(2)?

Stels [109]

So (f-g)(x) = 3x2 + x, so when x = 2, the function is 14
