Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

5x - 2(2x - 1) = 2(3x - 4)

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

  1. Distribute: 5x - 4x + 2 = 6x - 8
  2. Combine like terms: x + 2 = 6x - 8
  3. Subtract x on both sides: 2 = 5x - 8
  4. Add 8 to both sides: 10 = 5x
  5. Divide both sides by 5: 2 = x
  6. Rewrite x = 2

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

5(2) - 2(2(2) - 1) = 2(3(2) - 4)

10 - 2(4 - 1) = 2(6 - 4)

10 - 2(3) = 2(2)

10 - 6 = 4

4 = 4

Here we see that x = 2 is indeed a solution

Step 4: Find 2x

2(2) = 4

Reflect 
3: Not really, whole numbers are being used and fractions are honestly not needed in this situation. 
4: If that was the case, you most likely did your work wrong. Check back and see if you've made an error in your word problem.

Is it possible you can focus more on the rectangle since the numbers are hard to see? :)

Which is the better deal?
LekaFEV [45]
B

It is B because When you do 1.44/12 you get 0.12 so, 12 ounce jar of sauce for $1.44 is the best deal.

Math Plz Help. <br><br>Please graph with two points! <br>explain how you found your answer
Softa [21]
X intercept: y = 0
y= -3/4x -4
0 = -3/4 x - 4
4= -3/4 x
4 • -4/3 = x
-5.3 = x
y intercept: x = 0
y = -3/4 x -4
y = -3/4 (0) -4
y = -4
the points are (-5.3, 0) and (0, -4)
