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

Answer:

Option C. 50 square centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The surface area is equal to the area of four triangles plus the area of rectangle

$SA=2[\frac{1}{2}(4)(2)]+2[\frac{1}{2}(6)(3)]+(6)(4)$

$SA=8+18+24$

$SA=50\ cm^{2}$

Which of the following is a common denominator of 1/4 and 5/6? Answers:

kondaur [170]

Answer:

C, 12

Step-by-step explanation:

least common multiple of 4 and 6 is:

prime factorization of 4: 2*2

prime factorization of 6: 3*2

common factors: 2, so you should only multiply one of the common 2s when multiplying the factors to get the least common multiple

2*2*3=12

12 is a common denominator of 1/4 and 5/6

Which number line represents the solution to the inequality x - 3 > 2

Ivahew [28]

Answer: x > 5

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for <em>x</em> in this inequality, our goal is the same as it would be if this were an equation, to get x by itself on one side.

Since 3 is being subtracted from x, we add 3 to

both sides of the inequality to get x > 5.

When graphing x > 5, we have an open circle on 5 and the

open circle tells us that 5 is not part of our answer.

Then we draw an arrow going to the right to represent

all possible solutions to this inequality, any number greater than 5.
