Answer:

<h2>x = -0.2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

-1(x+5)=3[x+2x-1)]\\\\\text{for}\ -1(x+5):\ \text{distribtutive property}\\\text{for}\ [x+(2x-1)]:\ \text{associative property}\\\\(-1)(x)+(-1)(5)=3[(x+2x)-1]\\-x-5=3(3x-1)\\\\\text{for}\ 3(3x-1):\ \text{distributive property}\\\\-x-5=(3)(3x)+(3)(-1)\\-x-5=9x-3\\\\\text{for the equation}:\ \text{addition property of equality}\\\\-x-5=9x-3\qquad\text{add 5 to both sides}\\-x-5+5=9x-3+5\\-x=9x+2\\\\\text{for the equation:}\ \text{subtraction property of equality}\\\\-x=9x+2\qquad\text{subtract}\ 9x\ \text{from both sides}

-x-9x=9x-9x+2\\-10x=2\\\\\text{for the equation:}\ \text{division property of equality}\\\\-10x=2\qquad\text{divide both sides by -10}\\\dfrac{-10x}{-10}=\dfrac{2}{-10}\\x=-0.2

\text{Distributive property:}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\text{Associative property:}\ (a+b)+c=a+(b+c)

PLEASE ANSWER QUICKLY: SURFACE AREA<br><br> If you don't know the answer please don't guess.
dusya [7]
Well for one, the floor and the ceiling do not need wallpaper.  So you would only find the surface area each side.  (48, 48, 80, 80)  Then you would add all four together. (256ft squared)

The answer is 'C.'

Jorge received a 3.1% increase in his pay at work. If he now makes $8.00 per hour, how much was he making before his raise? (Rou
Blababa [14]

Answer:

$7.76

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount he was making before the raise.

He had an increase of 3.1% of x added to x which resulted in a new salary of $8.00 per hour.

Mathematically:

(\frac{3.1}{100} * x) + x = 8\\\\0.031x + x = 8\\\\1.031x = 8\\\\=> x = 8 / 1.031

x = $7.76

He was making $7.76 before the raise.
