5x + 10 = 20

Mathematics
1 answer:
Andrei [34K]4 years ago

To solve for <em>x</em>, we must first isolate the term containing <em>x</em> which in this problem is 5x.

Since 10 is being added to 5x, we subtract 10 from both sides of the equation to isolate the 5x.

On the left, the +10 and -10 cancel out and on the right, 20 - 10 is 10 and we have 5x = 10.

Now we can finish things off by just dividing both sides of the equation by 5. On the left the 5's cancel and on the right, 10 divided by 5 is 2 so <em>x = 2</em>.

two bicycle riders start from the same point and ride in opposite directions. one rider is moving twice as the other. in 3 hours
Artist 52 [7]

Let the speed of one rider = x

The speed of the second rider would e 2x ( twice as fast)

The total speed of the two riders would be x + 2x = 3x

Speed = Distance / time

Using the numbers:

3x = 72/3

Simplify:

3x = 24

Divide both sides by 3:

x = 8

The speed of one rider is 8 miles per hour

The speed of the second rider is 2(8) = 16 miles per hour.

Answer of a ²-10a+16-6b-b^2​
german

\quad a^2-10a+16-6b-b^2

$=(a^2-10a)-(b^2+6b) +16$

$=[(a^2-2(5)a+25)-25]-[(b^2+2(3)b+9)-9]+16$

$=(a-5)^2-25-(b+3)^2+9+16$

$=(a-5)^2-(b+3)^2$
