Add 7
so it will be like this

-9 + 7 = 5x - x
-2 = 4x
divide by 4
$\frac{-2}{4}$ = $\frac{4x}{4}$
x = $\frac{-1}{2}$

Can someone explain this for me?? 4 (c+2) < 4c + 10

faust18 [17]

Answer:

The inequality would be true

Step-by-step explanation:

4(c+2) < 4c + 10

Distribute the 4 on the left

4c + 8 < 4c + 10

Subtract 4c from both sides

8 < 10

8 < 10 is true

The length of a rectangular poster is 9 more inches than two times its width. The area of the poster is 161 square inches. Solve

irinina [24]

Answer:

Width = 7 inches

Length = 23 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

length = 2x + 9
width = x

Equating to area :

(2x + 9)(x) = 161
2x² + 9x = 161
2x² + 9x - 161 = 0
2x² - 14x + 23x - 161 = 0
2x(x - 7) + 23(x - 7) = 0
x - 7 = 0
x = 7

Dimensions are :

Width = 7 inches
Length = 2(7) + 9
Length = 23 inches

Answer:

2x +21

Step-by-step explanation:

$log_{5} {5}^{(2x - 9)} + log_{3} {729}^{5} \\ \\ = log_{5} {5}^{(2x - 9)} + log_{3} {( {3}^{6} )}^{5} \\ \\ = log_{5} {5}^{(2x - 9)} + log_{3} { {3}}^{6 \times 5} \\ \\ = log_{5} {5}^{(2x - 9)} + log_{3} { {3}}^{30} \\ \\ =(2x - 9) log_{5} {5} + 30 log_{3} { {3}} \\ \\ = (2x - 9).1 + 30(1 )\\ ( \because \: log_{a} { {a}} = 1) \\ \\ = 2x - 9 + 30 \\ \\ = 2x +21$
