Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Convert words into an expression</u>
What is the value of x in the equation 13 x minus 2 (8 + 5 x) = 12 minus 11 x?
13x - 2(8 + 5x) = 12 - 11x
<u>Step 2: Distribute</u>
13x - 2(8 + 5x) = 12 - 11x
13x - 16 - 10x = 12 - 11x
<u>Step 3: Solve for x</u>
13x - 16 - 10x + 11x + 16 = 12 - 11x + 11x + 16
14x / 14 = 28 / 14
x = 2
Answer: x = 2
P(x) = x^2 - 1
q(x) = 5(x - 1)
(p - q)(x) = (x^2 - 1) - 5(x - 1)
Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
well, the first solution that comes to my mind is :
8/4 + 5/1 = 7/1
2 + 5 = 7
the reason : the only numerator I can "cut" into integer pieces is 8.
5 and 7 are prime numbers.
so, it tried to keep 5 and 7 whole, and then add a part of 8 to make this equation true. and that worked right away.
