Answer:
-7
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's try getting rid of the numbers to isolate the x.
Add x on both sides to get rid of the x on the right side and to get 2x on the left side. This leaves us with 15.3 + 2x = 1.3
Subtract 15.3 on both sides to get rid of the 15.3 on the left side.
This would leave us with 2x = -14
Divide 2 on both sides to isolate the x.
The answer is x = -7
Well it would be -5, right? Because you lost (-) $5, you would have a negative five dollars.
It's B.) The student’s answer is not reasonable. Estimation: 170 + 90 = 260
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let's find our C value for the quadratic equation.

That is our C. Since we added 9 to one side, we have to do the same to the other. We get:

Now, lets form the left side as a binomial squared.

Let's square both sides now:

Now, we subtract 3 from both sides to isolate the variable, X:

This means that the answers are:

I do not understand your answers though. Answer A makes no sense, answer B is 221, answer C is 115, and answer D also does not make sense. If you could clarify this portion, maybe I can help you find your alphabetic answer
