Hi there!

To solve this equation, I first would like to warn you about the long answer I am about to post for you. I'll be putting in very detailed steps for you, showing you how to simplify and distribute numbers, etc. :)

Let us solve your equation step-by-step.

Step 1) Simplify both sides of the equation.

To simplify this, we will...

4 + (-2) (x) + (-2) (7) = (3) (x) + (3) (5)

4 + - 2x + - 14 = 3x + 15

(-2x) + (4 + - 14) = 3x + 15

Now, we combine Like Terms...

-2x + - 10 = 3x + 15

-2x - 10 = 3x + 15

Fwew! That was probably going to be the longest step here!

Step 2) Subtract 3x from both sides.

- 2x - 10 - 3x = 3x + 15 - 3x

- 5x - 10 = 15

Step 3) Add 10 to both sides.

- 5x - 10 + 10 = 15 + 10

- 5x = 25

Step 4) Divide both sides by -5.

-5x/-5 = 25/-5

So, our final answer is x = -5.

Hope this helps!

Message me if you need anything else! I'd be happy to help! :D

4-2(x+7)=3(x+5)
4-2x-14=3x+15
2x-3x=15-4+14
-x=15
(x=-15)

Find the measure of the angle indicated. 6

deff fn [24]

Answer:

1) m∠U = 90°

2) m∠C = 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The given figure is a quadrilateral

The sum of the interior angles of quadrilateral = 360°

∴ The sum of the interior angles of the given figure = 360°

Therefore, we have;

80° + 24·x + 4 + 6 + 21·x + 90° = 360°

80° + 45·x + 10 + 90° = 360°

x = (360°- (80° + 10° + 90°))/45 = 4

x = 4

m∠U = 6 + 21·x = 6 + 21 × 4 = 90

m∠U = 90°

2) The sum of the interior angles of the given quadrilateral = 360°

∴ 21·x + 6 + 20·x + 24·x + 4 + 21·x + 6 = 360°

86·x + 16 = 360°

x = (360° - 16°)/86 = 4

x = 4

m∠C = 20·x = 20 × 4 = 80

m∠C = 80°

3) In the figure, some angles are left out, therefore, more information on the remaining angles required

Tom is buying topsoil for the flower bed shown below. One bag of topsoil covers 151515 square meters. How many bags of topsoil d

exis [7]

Answer:

2 bags of topsoil.

Step-by-step explanation:

The attached figure shows a flower bed.

One bag of topsoil covers 15 square meters.

We need to find how many bags of topsoil does Tom need to cover his flower bed.

The area of the flower bed is :

$A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 12\times 5\\\\=30\ m^2$

Let he has to cover x bags of topsoil. So,

x = Area of flower bed/Area of 1 bag of top soil

x = 30/15

x = 2

Hence, he will need 2 bags of topsoil to cover his flower bed.
