Step-by-step explanation:
No, -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n is not equivalent to -30 - 13n
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us revise the operation of the negative and positive numbers
- (-) + (-) = (-)
- (-) × (-) = (+)
- (-) + (+) = the sign of greatest [(-) if the greatest is (-) or (+) if the greatest is (+)]
- (-) × (+) = (-)
- (-) - (+) = (-)
- (+) - (-) = (+)
∵ The expression is -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n
- Simplify it
∵ 2(3 + 2n) = 2(3) + 2(2n) = 6 + 4n
∴ -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n = -8 - (6 + 4n) + 7n
- Multiply the bracket by (-)
∴ -8 - (6 + 4n) + 7n = -8 - 6 - 4n + 7n
- Add the like terms
∴ -8 - (6 + 4n) + 7n = (-8 - 6) - 4n + 7n
∴ -8 - (6 + 4n) + 7n = -14 + 3n
∴ -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n is equivalent to -14 + 3n
∵ -14 + 3n ≠ -30 - 13n
∴ -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n is not equivalent to -30 - 13n
No, -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n is not equivalent to -30 - 13n

Answer:
A 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Parts on the left have the same ratio as parts on the right.
... x/(x+5) = (x -2)/(x +1)
Multiplying by (x+5)(x+1), we get
... x(x +1) = (x -2)(x +5)
... x² +x = x² +3x -10 . . . . eliminate parentheses
... 0 = 2x -10 . . . . . . . . . . subtract x²+x
... 0 = x -5 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
... 5 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 5
