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!

jennifer walks 8 miles in the same time she can jog 13 miles. if her jogging speed is 8mph faster than her walking speed, how fa
Elanso [62]

Answer:

12.8mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'w' represent her walking speed

->if her jogging speed is 8mph faster than her walking speed

Jogging speed=  w+8

Using the time equation i.e time = dist/speed

For walking when distance is 8miles

time = dist / speed= 8/w hrs

For jogging when distance is 13miles

time = dist / speed= 13/(w+8) hrs

Equating the time

jog time = walk time

13/(w+8) = 8/w

By cross multiplying it

13w = 8w + 64

5w = 64

w=64/5

w=12.8mph

Therefore, 12.8mph is her walking speed.

I need help on this question I don’t understand
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Since these 2 angles are vertical angles, then they are both equal. Set up an equation and then solve it.

75 = 4x - 25

75 + 25 = 4x

100 = 4x

100/4 = 4x/4

25 = x

Hope this helps. Brainly will be highly appreciated.
