Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify. First, combine like terms:
3x - x + 2 = 12
(3x - x) + 2 = 12
(2x) + 2 = 12
2x + 2 = 12
Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

& is your order of operation.
First, subtract 2 from both sides:
2x + 2 (-2) = 12 (-2)
2x = 12 - 2
2x = 10
Next, divide 2 from both sides:
(2x)/2 = (10)/2
x = 10/2
x = 5
5 is your answer for x.
Check: Plug in 5 for x in the equation. Solve:
3(5) - (5) + 2 = 12
15 - 5 + 2 = 12
10 + 2 = 12
12 = 12 (True)

Answer:
z = 10°
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the two sides are equal, the two base angles have to be equal
That means that 5z and 130 form a straight line and add to 180 degrees
5z+130 = 180
Subtract 130 from each side
5z = 50
Divide by 5
5z/5 = 50/5
z=10
Answer:
$5.65
Step-by-step explanation:
1.20x0.50=0.60
1.50x2.50=3.75
0.60+3.75=4.35
10.00-4.35
5.65
I will assume that this question is about scientific notation (also assuming that the first number is 3.4*10^2), where you can arrange the numbers by the exponent of the 10, so from least to greatest:
