Why do you first combine like terms and then use Distributive Property to solve 8(5x+9x+6)=160?

You can actually do it either way, you could distribute first and then combine, you would get the same answer. I guess it just depends on what you find easier. Here is how to solve it both ways:

Combining First:

8(5x+9x+6)=160

8(14x+6)=160

112x+48=160

112x=112

x=1

NOT Combining First:

8(5x+9x+6)=160

40x+72x+48=160

112x+48=160

112x=112

x=1

so, you would get the same answer both ways, it is of personal preference what you do first.

What is the solution of log2x + 6 8 = 3?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

<h2>x=-3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

log(2x + 6) +8 = 3

Solve this log equation for x

First subtract 8 from both sides

log(2x+6)= -5

Now we convert it into exponential form

If log(x) = a then 10^a = x

log(2x+6)= -5 becomes

subtract 6 from both sides

Now we divide by 2 on both sides

x= -3 approximately

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Soooo, by looking at the picture we can tell that it is a right trapezoid

The formula for the area is

(b1+b2)/2*h

(Base 1+ Base 2)/ 2 * height

Now we can plug in the numbers:

(5+15)/2*6

20/2*6

10*6

=60
