Solve for x:

3(x - 5) = 6

Distribute the 3 to the variables inside the parenthesis

3x - 15 = 6

Add 15 to both sides to cancel out the "-15"

3x = 21

Divide both sides by 3

x = 7

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

1) distribute

-----

3x-15=6

2) solve for x

------

3x-15+15=6+15

3x-0=21

3x=21

$\frac{3x}{3}= \frac{21}{3}$

What is the solution to the system of equations?

Nitella [24]

In this case the two equations describe lines that intersect at one particular point. Clearly this point is on both lines, and therefore its coordinates (x, y) will satisfy the equation of either line. Thus the pair (x, y) is the one and only solution to the system of equations.

Solve using elimination. X + 8y = 3 2x – 4y = -14

enot [183]

Answer:

X+8y=3, 2x-4y=-14

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we do not know the values of x or y we have to leave them the way they are because you can't combine x and y

Simplify the expression

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

A. ${x}^{3} - x - \frac{6}{2x + 3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2 {x}^{4} + 3 {x}^{3} - 2 {x}^{2} - 3x - 6}{2x + 3} \\ \\ = \frac{(2 {x}^{4} + 3 {x}^{3} ) - (2 {x}^{2} + 3x) - 6}{2x + 3} \\ \\ = \frac{ {x}^{3} (2 {x} + 3 ) - x(2 {x} + 3) - 6}{2x + 3} \\ \\ = \frac{ {x}^{3} (2x + 3)}{2x + 3} - \frac{x(2x + 3)}{2x + 3} - \frac{6}{2x + 3} \\ \\ \purple { \bold{= {x}^{3} - x - \frac{6}{2x + 3} }}$
