Let's solve it step by step:

3( 10x − 14 ) = 9( 2x + 2 )

First, we can try to remove the multipliction outsude brackets to avoid complicating the steps.

(10x - 14x) = 9(2x + 2)/3

(10x - 14x) = 3(2x +2)

Then we can multiply 3 into the bracket on left hand side to remove the brackets.

10x - 14 = 3(2x) + 3(2)

10x -14 = 6x + 6

Put the unknown together:

10x - 6x = 6 + 14

4x = 20

x = 5

Therefore, the answer is D. x = 5.

Hope it helps!

A fence must be built to enclose a rectangular area of 20,000 square feet. fencing material cost $2.50 per foot for the two side
Zolol [24]
The area is:
 A = x * y = 20000
 The cost function is:
 C = 2.50 (2x) +3.50 (2y)
 Rewriting we have:
 C = 5x + 7y
 Writing as a function of x we have:
 C = 5x + 7 (20000 / x)
 Rewriting:
 C (x) = 5x + 140000 / x
 We derive:
 C '(x) = 5-140000 / x ^ 2
 We equal zero and clear x:
 0 = 5-140000 / x ^ 2
 140000 / x ^ 2 = 5
 x ^ 2 = 140000/5
 x = root (140000/5)
 x = 167.33 feet
 Therefore the cost is:
 C (167.33) = 5 * (167.33) + 7 * (20000 / 167.33)
 C (167.33) = 1673.32 $
 Answer:
 
The cost of the least expensive fence is:
 
$ 1673.32

Answer:

<em>She invested 1600 at 8%     (to get the shown $160 interest)</em>

<em>and $7400 at 10%    (to get the shown  640 interest)</em>

<em>If x = 4000 then $80 interest is x2 again = $160</em>

<em>and so forth $320 interest x 2 again = $640</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The format would always be for x and then where </em>

<em>investment - x = interest  we can work out totals this way and find x.</em>

<em>9000-x = 800  is first equation and substituted into 2nd equation;</em>

<em>0.10x+0.08(9000−x)=800</em>

<em>Use the distributive property to multiply 0.08 by 9000−x.</em>

<em>0.10x+720−0.08x=800</em>

<em>Combine 0.10x and  -0.08x to get 0.02x.</em>

<em>0.02x + 720 = 800</em>

<em>Subtract 720 from both sides.</em>

<em>0.02x=800−720</em>

<em>Subtract 720 from 800 to get 80.</em>

<em>0.02x=80</em>

<em>Divide both sides by 0.02.</em>

<em>x=  80 / 0.02</em>

<em>Make decimals numbers = 1 or above.</em>

<em>80  / 0.02    x 100</em>

<em>x=  8000 / 2</em>

<em>x = 4000</em>
