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

What percent of 950 is 2​
Dima020 [189]

Answer: 0.21%

Step-by-step explanation: Please mark me brainlist

Step 1: We make the assumption that 950 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with x

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that 100% = 950

Step 4: In the same vein x% = 2

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations: 100% = 950(1)

x% = 2(2)
Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS

(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have
100%/x% = 950/2

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields
x%/100%/ 2/950
---> 0.21%

Which unit of measure would be appropriate for the volume of a sphere with a radius of 2 meters
stiv31 [10]

<span>A sphere is a perfectly round geometrical object that is three dimensional, with every point on its surface equidistant from its center. Many commonly-used objects such as balls or globes are spheres. If you want to calculate the volume of a sphere, you just have to find its radius and plug it into a simple formula, V = ⁴⁄₃πr³</span>
