Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

3(1 + x) = 2(x + -1)

(1 * 3 + x * 3) = 2(x + -1)

(3 + 3x) = 2(x + -1)

Reorder the terms:

3 + 3x = 2(-1 + x)

3 + 3x = (-1 * 2 + x * 2)

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

Solving :the equation

3 + 3x = -2 + 2x

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

3 + 3x + -2x = -2 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 3x + -2x = x

3 + x = -2 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

3 + x = -2 + 0

3 + x = -2

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.

3 + -3 + x = -2 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0

0 + x = -2 + -3

x = -2 + -3

Combine like terms: -2 + -3 = -5

x = -5

divide each side by '1'.

x = -5

If we sub (3x-5y) from (6x +8y)then the result is plz repy

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

3x + 13y

Explanation:

6x + 8y − (3x − 5y)

Distribute the Negative Sign

6x + 8y + −1(3x − 5y)

6x + 8y + −1(3x) + −1(−5y)

6x + 8y + −3x + 5y

Combine Like Terms

6x + 8y + −3x + 5y

(6x + −3x) + (8y + 5y)

= 3x + 13y

Which sequence represents an arithmetic sequence?

Sergio039 [100]

we know that

arithematic sequence will always have common difference

(a)

−5, −7, −10, −14, −19, …

we can see that

$d_1=-7+5=-2$

$d_2=-10+7=-3$

they are not equal

so, this is not arithematic sequence

(2)

1.5, −1.5, 1.5, −1.5, …

we can see that

$d_1=-1.5-1.5=-3$

$d_2=1.5+1.5=3$

they are not equal

so, this is not arithematic sequence

(3)

4.1, 5.1, 6.2, 7.2, …

we can see that

$d_1=5.1-4.1=1$

$d_2=6.2+5.1=1.1$

they are not equal

so, this is not arithematic sequence

(4)

−1.5, −1, −0.5, 0, …

we can see that

$d_1=-1+1.5=0.5$

$d_2=-0.5+1=0.5$

they are equal

so, this is arithematic sequence

You are ordering DVD's from a web site. They charge $14 for each DVD. For any order you must pay an additional $6 for shipping a

valkas [14]

Answer:

y = 16x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

They charge $14 for each DVD, which mean the slope of the function is 14

You must pay an additional $6 for shipping and handling, which means no matter how many DVD you buy, you have to pay a flat fee for $6

So our function is:

y = 16x + 6 where:

y is total cost

x is the number of DVD you buy (x>0)

Kryger [21]

Answer:

£2112

Step-by-step explanation:

To find Gavin's share, sum the parts of the ratio, 4 + 1 = 5 parts

Divide the win by 5 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

£8800 ÷ 5 = £1760 ← value of 1 part of ratio, thus

4 parts = 4 × £1760 = £7040 ← Gavin's share

Now repeat the process with the ratio for his family

1 + 6 + 3 = 10 parts

£7040 ÷ 10 = £704 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus

6 × £704 = £4224 ← wife's share

3 × £704 = £2112 ← son's share

Difference = £4224 - £2112 = £2112

Thus his wife gets £2112 more than the son
