Answer:

10x - 5(x - 1) = 20

10x - 5x + 5 = 20

5x + 5 = 20

5x = 20 - 5

5x = 15

x = 15/5

x = 3

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The first error was in the 2nd line:  -5(x - 1) is -5x + 5, not -5x - 5 = 20.

Continuing the solution:

10x - 5x + 5 = 20

Combining like terms, we get

5x = 15, and so x = 3

Answer:

(x=days)  g(x)=15x+200

Step-by-step explanation:

the 200 is a base fee, meaning you cant tag a variable on it and in this case it works as a y-intercept, the 15 dollars a day would be 15x because x is the number of days and to calculate how much it costs to work a few days you multiply the daily rate and the number of days, then add 200 to get your cost.
