• What is the solution to 5x+ 20 = 7(x+2)?

Mathematics

For this case we must find the solution of the following equation:

5x + 20 = 7 (x + 2)

Applying distributive property on the right side of the equation we have:

5x + 20 = 7x + 14

Subtracting 7x from both sides of the equation:

5x-7x + 20 = 14\\-2x + 20 = 14

Subtracting 20 from both sides of the equation:

-2x = 14-20

Different signs are subtracted and the major sign is placed.

-2x = -6

Dividing between -2 on both sides of the equation:

x = \frac {-6} {- 2}\\x = 3

Thus, the solution of the equation isx = 3

Answer:

x = 3

Three stamps can be attached to each other in various ways.how many ways might three stamps be attached?
ivanzaharov [21]
Let's call the stamps A, B, and C. They can each be used only once. I assume all 3 must be used in each possible arrangement.
There are two ways to solve this. We can list each possible arrangement of stamps, or we can plug in the numbers to a formula. 
Let's find all possible arrangements first. We can easily start spouting out possible arrangements of the 3 stamps, but to make sure we find them all, let's go in alphabetical order. First, let's look at the arrangements that start with A:
ABC
ACB
There are no other ways to arrange 3 stamps with the first stamp being A. Let's look at the ways to arrange them starting with B:
BAC
BCA
Try finding the arrangements that start with C:
C_ _
C_ _
Or we can try a little formula; y×(y-1)×(y-2)×(y-3)...until the (y-x) = 1 where y=the number of items.
In this case there are 3 stamps, so y=3, and the formula looks like this: 3×(3-1)×(3-2).
Confused? Let me explain why it works.
There are 3 possibilities for the first stamp: A, B, or C. 
There are 2 possibilities for the second space: The two stamps that are not in the first space.
There is 1 possibility for the third space: the stamp not used in the first or second space. 
So the number of possibilities, in this case, is 3×2×1.
We can see that the number of ways that 3 stamps can be attached is the same regardless of method used.
