Answer:

x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we need to get all the variables on one side of the equation, and all the numbers on the other

6(x + 1) – 5x = 8 + 2(x - 1)

First, distribute the 6 on the left

6*x+6*1 -5x=8 +2(x-1)

6x+6-5x=8+2(x=1)

Combine like terms on the left

(6x-5x)+6=8+2(x-1)

x+6=8+2(x-1)

Distribute the 2 on the right

x+6=8+2*x+2*-1

x+6=8+2x-2

Combine like terms on the right

x+6=2x+(8-2)

x+6=2x+6

Subtract x from both sides

6=x+6

Subtract 6 from both sides

x=0

Hope this helps! :)

Subtract 7x-9 from 2x^2-11<br> A) 2x^2-7x-2<br> B) 2x^2+7x-20<br> C) 2x^2+7x-2
Natali [406]
We keep the 2x^2 because we can only subtract something from that if it also is squared. From there, we subtract the 7x from 2x^2-11. Since there is no previous x's in the 2x^2-11, we just make it -7x. So, without even continuing the problem, we see that A) is the correct answer because it is the only one with -7x.

Jules ran 2/3 miles. Miles ran 5/8 more than Jules. How many miles did Miles run?
kifflom [539]
2/3 is equivalent to 16/24
and 5/8 is equivalent to 15/24 miles
15/24+16/24= 31/24

31/24 simplifies to 1 6/24
Which simplifies down to 1 1/6

Miles ran 1 and 1/6 miles
