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

All sides of a square and a pentagon are 9 inches long. Are their perimeters the same? Explain
EastWind [94]


No they wouldn't be the same because, the perimeter is adding all sides.

The square has 4 sides so you would add 9, four times.

9 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 36

And a pentagon has 5 sides so you would add 9, five times.

9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 45

So, they are not the same.

Hope this helps. :)

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

15x - y = - 6.....15x + 6 = y...so we sub in 15x + 6 in for y on the other equation

5x - 3y = -13

5x - 3(15x + 6) = -13 <== the new equation

In a right –angled triangle, the length of hypotenuse and shorter sides are 13 cm and 5 cm respectively. Work out the other side
stellarik [79]

Answer: The other side is 12 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}
  • a^{2} + (5)^{2} = (13)^{2}
  • a^{2} + 25 = 169
  • a^{2} = 144
  • a = \sqrt{144}
  • a = 12

MATH HELP!?
Debora [2.8K]
<span><u><em>The correct answers are: </em></u>
 1) C
 2) A
 3) D

<u><em>Explanation</em></u><span><u><em>: </em></u>
1) <u>Voluntary deductions</u> are amounts that you elect to come out of your paycheck every pay period. Federal tax is not voluntary; neither is state tax, nor Social Security. The only voluntary deduction in this list is health insurance. You are not obligated to pay for your health insurance by automatically withholding it from your check.

 2) <u>FICA</u> is the tax that goes towards Social Security and Medicare. It is involuntary, and it is deducted as a percentage of your gross (pre-withholding) pay.

 3) <u>A fixed expense</u> would be one that is the same from month to month. The only one of these expenses that would be the same amount monthly is a mortgage.</span></span>
