Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we must simply solve for x.  To do this, we will need equation operations, and the use of the distributive property.

Let's work this line by line until we have the value for x:

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

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

-3x + 6x + 3 = x - 1

3x + 3 = x - 1

2x = -4

x = -2

Now we can check our answer for x by plugging back into the original equation and see if the left hand side is equal to the right hand side:

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

3{-(-2) + (2(-2) + 1)} ?= (-2) - 1

3{2 + (-4 + 1)} ?= -3

3{2 + (-3)} ?= -3

3{-1} ?= -3

-3 == -3

Thus, we have found the solution for x to be equivalent to negative 2.

Cheers.

Answer:

<h2>x = - 2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

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

<u>First solve the terms in the bracket first</u>

That's

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

3( x + 1) = x - 1

<u>Expand the terms in the bracket</u>

We have

3x + 3 = x - 1

<u>Simplify</u>

3x - x = - 1 - 3

2x = - 4

Divide both sides by 2

We have the final answer as

<h3>x = - 2</h3>

Hope this helps you

Elizabeth bought lemons (l) and apples (a). Each apple costs 35¢ and each lemon costs 15¢. All together, she bought 17 lemons an
Zina [86]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Lemons - l and apples - a
  • a = 35¢, l = 15¢
  • Number of apples and lemons = 17
  • Cost of lemons and apples = $3.95 = 395¢

<u>System as per question:</u>

  • a + l = 17
  • 35a + 15l = 395

Or

  • a + l = 17
  • 0.35a + 0.15l = 3.95

Min Jee wants to build a small patio using either brick or paver stones.
Anvisha [2.4K]
Brick = 3.5 in by 7.5 in and costs $0.59
Paver = 8.4 in by 8.4 in and costs $1.88

The small patio's area = 3430 square inches
The Area of 1 Brick = 26.25 square inches
The Area of 1 Paver = 70.56 square inches

The # of Bricks to complete the Patio will be:

Patio's Area / the Area of 1 Brick = # of Bricks to complete the patio
3430 square inches / 26.25 square inches = 130.67 = 131

Then, multiply the # of Bricks to complete the patio by the amount that 1 brick costs:

131 * $0.59 = $77.29

It will take $77.29 to complete the Patio with bricks. 

The # of Pavers to complete the Patio:

Patio's Area / the Area of 1 Paver =  # of Pavers to complete the Patio
3430 square inches / 70.56 square inches = 48.6 = 49

Then, multiply the # of Pavers to complete the patio by the amount that 1 Paver costs:

49 * $1.88 = $92.12

Cost of Bricks to complete Patio = $77.29
Cost of Pavers to complete Patio = $92.12

To conclude, Bricks would cost less by $14.83.
