What vaule of x makes th question true? 3x+2(x-5)=50 a. 8 b.9 c.11 d.12

Ainat [17]

Hey Tierra7l,

Lets solve your equation together step by step.

$3x+2\left(x-5\right)=50$

$\mathrm{Expand}\:2\left(x-5\right):\quad 2x-10$

$\mathrm{Distribute\:parentheses\:using}:\quad \:a\left(b+c\right)=ab+ac$

$a=2,\:b=x,\:c=-5$

$2\cdot \:x+2\left(-5\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:minus-plus\:rules}$

$\:\:+\left(-a\right)=-a$

$2x-2\cdot \:5$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:2\cdot \:5=10$

$2x-10$

$3x+2x-10=50$

$\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:3x+2x=5x$

$5x-10=50$

$\mathrm{Add\:}10\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}$

$5x-10+10=50+10$

$\mathrm{Simplify}$

$5x=60$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}5$

$\dfrac{5x}{5}=\dfrac{60}{5}$

$\mathrm{Simplify}$

$x=12$

Hope this helps,

Michael and his wife are each starting a saving plan. Michael will initially set aside $75 and then add $50.85 every week to the

lana [24]

Answer:

T = 75 + 116.9*N

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the equation for Michael's savings is:

A = 75 + 50.85*N, where N is the number of weeks

And we have that the equation for his wife's savings is:

B = 65.95*N.

So, to find the total amount saved using both plans combined (T), we have to sum A and B:

T = A + B = 75 + 50.85*N + 65.95*N = 75 + 116.9*N

So the equation that relates T to N is:

T = 75 + 116.9*N
