Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

2 + 2x + -5 = 5[x + 3]

Reorder the terms:

2 + -5 + 2x = 5[x + 3]

Combine like terms: 2 + -5 = -3

-3 + 2x = 5[x + 3]

Reorder the terms:

-3 + 2x = 5[3 + x]

-3 + 2x = [3 * 5 + x * 5]

-3 + 2x = [15 + 5x]

Solving

-3 + 2x = 15 + 5x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.

-3 + 2x + -5x = 15 + 5x + -5x

Combine like terms: 2x + -5x = -3x

-3 + -3x = 15 + 5x + -5x

Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0

-3 + -3x = 15 + 0

-3 + -3x = 15

Add '3' to each side of the equation.

-3 + 3 + -3x = 15 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0

0 + -3x = 15 + 3

-3x = 15 + 3

Combine like terms: 15 + 3 = 18

-3x = 18

Divide each side by '-3'.

x = -6

Which is the product?

Luda [366]

Question:

Iliana multiplied 3p – 7 and 2p^2 – 3p – 4. Her work is shown in the table.

Which is the product?

6p^3 + 23p^2 + 9p + 28

6p^3 – 23p^2 – 9p + 28

6p^3 – 23p^2 + 9p + 28

6p^3 + 23p^2 – 9p + 28

Answer:

Option C: $6 p^{3}-23 p^{2}+9 p+28$ is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The two expressions are $3 p-7$ and $\left2 p^{2}-3 p-4\right$

The product of the expression can be determined by multiplying each of the first term with the second term of the expression, we get,

$(3 p-7)\left(2 p^{2}-3 p-4\right)$

$3 p \cdot 2 p^{2}+3 p(-3 p)+3 p(-4)+(-7) \cdot 2 p^{2}+(-7)(-3 p)+(-7)(-4)$

Simplifying we have,

$6p^3-9p^2-12p-14p^2+21p+28$

Adding the like terms, we have,

$6 p^{3}-23 p^{2}+9 p+28$

Thus, the product of the two expression is $6 p^{3}-23 p^{2}+9 p+28$

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.

In the figure shown the value of a is equal to

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

a = 7.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure has been re-labelled and attached to this response.

From the figure, the larger right triangle DAB and the small right triangle BCA are similar. This is because;

i. They have two corresponding congruent angles which are the right angle

and angle B

Therefore, we can say that;

$\frac{|DB|}{|BA|} = \frac{|AB|}{|BC|}$

$\frac{13}{a} = \frac{a}{4}$

Cross multiply

a x a = 13 x 4

a² = 52

a = √52

a = 7.2

Note: The figure showing the similar triangles has also been attached to this response.
