grigory [225]4 years ago

For this case we have the following equation:

6x + 5 = 5x + 8 + 2x

We must find the solution.

We add similar terms from the right side of the equation:

6x + 5 = 7x + 8

We subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:

6x = 7x + 8-5\\6x = 7x + 3

We subtract 7x on both sides of the equation:

6x-7x = 3

Different signs are subtracted and the sign of the major is placed:

-x = 3

We multiply by -1 on both sides of the equation:x = -3

Thus, the solution of the equation is x = -3. -5 is not a solution to the equation.

Answer:

x = -3. -5 is not a solution to the equation

A store is having 20% off sale. If the reduce price is 90.40, what is the original price
ipn [44]
In order to find the original price, we need to divide by 4. This is because the price was reduced by 20%, it is 4/5 of the original price. 

By dividing by 4, we can see that 90.40 is 22.60. 

To find the original price, we add 22.60 (1/5 of the original price), to 90.40 (4/5 the original price) to find that $113 is the original price.

Answer:

Third choice, 3 pages are edited every 5 mins and fourth choice 6/10 pages are edited each min

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the highlighted coordinate point, the one with (5, 3). % is the x and the x-axis represents time so the 5 means minutes. the y is 3, and the y-axis represents the pages edited, so 3 pages were edited. With this info, 3 pages are edited every 5 minutes.

Then look at the second point, it's 6 pages edited every 10 minutes, divide 6 by ten and u get 6/10 pages edited every 1 minute.
