If you want to solve for x, here's the answer: 5x-50 = 30-15x, 20x = 80, x = 4, so we conclude x is equal to 4. Hope this helped! Brainliest is always appreciated.

Hey!


The first step to solving this problem would be to distribute the parenthesis. We do this so that we can get rid of the parenthesis.

<em>Original Equation :</em>
5 ( x - 10 ) = 30 - 15x

<em>New Equation {Changed by Distribution} :</em>
5x - 50 = 30 - 15x

The next step would be to 50 to both sides. The reason we do that is to get rid of the 50 that is on the left side of the equation.

<em>Old Equation :</em>
5x - 50 = 30 - 15x

<em>New Equation {Changed by Adding 50 to Both Sides} :</em>
5x = 80 - 15x

And now we would add 15x to both sides to get rid of the -15x on the right side of the equation.

<em>Old Equation :</em>
5x = 80 - 15x

<em>New Equation {Changed by Adding 15x to Both Sides} :</em>
20x = 80

Now we divide both sides by 20 to get x on it's own.

<em>Old Equation :</em>
20x = 80

<em>New Equation {Changed by Dividing Both Sides by 20} :</em>
\frac{20x}{20} = \frac{80}{20}

Finally, all we have to do is solve to find x.

<em>Old Equation :</em>
\frac{20x}{20} = \frac{80}{20}

<em>Solution {Old Equation Solved} :</em>
x = 4

<em>So, in the equation </em><span><em>5 ( x – 10 ) = 30 – 15x</em>,  x = 4.

Hope this helps!

A prop for a school play is a sphere that will be hung from the ceiling. The surface area of the sphere is 5 024 cm'. If the sur
denis23 [38]

Answer:

The radius of the sphere, to the nearest cm:

r\approx 20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a sphere is given by the formula

A = 4πr²

where r is the radius of the sphere.

Given

  • The surface area of sphere A = 5024 cm²

The radius of the sphere can be determined such as

A\:=\:4\pi r^2

r\:=\:\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi }}

Plug in Surface Area of sphere =  5024, π = 3.14 in the formula

\:r\:=\:\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac{5024}{3.14}}\:\:

r\approx 20 cm

Therefore, the radius of the sphere, to the nearest cm:

r\approx 20 cm

Explain how to solve -4(1.75 + x) =18
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

first change any decimal to a whole. -4(175+x)=18. Then times -4 by 175 and x, -700+ 4x =18. Then add +700 to -700 which equals just 4x ,then add +700 to 18, which is 4x = 718. then divide both sides by 4 and estimate. x= 180
