5x+3(2x-1)=3x-14

Use distributive property

5x+6x-3=3x-14

Combine like terms

11x-3=3x-14


Subtract 3x from both sides to get...


8x-3=-14


Add 3 to both sides to get

8x=-11


Divide both sides by 8 to get


X=-11/8

Answer:

x=-11/8

Step-by-step explanation:

First use the Distributive property on [3(2x-1)]:

5x+6x-3=3x-14

Now combine alike terms:

11x-3=3x-14

Now add three to both sides:

11x=3x-11

Now subtract 3x from both sides:

8x=-11

Now divide both sides by 8:

x=-11/8

This fraction cannot be simplified meaning your final answer SHOULD be -11/8

Is 976 -522 more or less than 400? Explain how you can tell without actually subtracting.
liq [111]
You can round 976 to 1000 and 522 to 500. So it would be
1000 - 500 = 500. The answer you would get after subtracting 976-522 would be more than 400 if you round it.

Using elimination, we add the equations, but this time from left to right. This process wants to elimination a variable. So 2x plus -2x equals 0. Moving on the next variable, 6y plus -y is 5y. On to the last variable, 18 plus 12 is 30. So we have this equation, 5y=30. 30/5 is 6, so y=6. We plug 6 into y in one of the equations you choose. In this case, I'm going to use the first equation. Plugging 6, we have this equation, 2x plus 36 is 18. 18-36 is -18. We then have this equation, 2x=-18. We know -9 times 2 is -18, so our x value is -9, So, our y=6, and our x=-9.
