Answer:

x=35

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Distribute</u>

5(x + 20) = 7x + 30

(5 * x) + (5 * 20) = 7x + 30

5x + 100 = 7x + 30

<u>Step 2:  Subtract 5x from both sides</u>

5x + 100 - 5x = 7x + 30 - 5x

100 = 2x + 30

<u>Step 3:  Subtract 30 from both sides</u>

100 - 30 = 2x + 30 - 30

70 = 2x

<u>Step 4:  Divide both sides by 2</u>

<u />70 / 2 = 2x / 2

35 = x

Answer:  x = 35

Answer: 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

5(x + 20) = 7x + 30

Reorder the terms:

5(20 + x) = 7x + 30

(20 * 5 + x * 5) = 7x + 30

(100 + 5x) = 7x + 30

Reorder the terms:

100 + 5x = 30 + 7x

Solving

100 + 5x = 30 + 7x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-7x' to each side of the equation.

100 + 5x + -7x = 30 + 7x + -7x

Combine like terms: 5x + -7x = -2x

100 + -2x = 30 + 7x + -7x

Combine like terms: 7x + -7x = 0

100 + -2x = 30 + 0

100 + -2x = 30

Add '-100' to each side of the equation.

100 + -100 + -2x = 30 + -100

Combine like terms: 100 + -100 = 0

0 + -2x = 30 + -100

-2x = 30 + -100

Combine like terms: 30 + -100 = -70

-2x = -70

Divide each side by '-2'.

x = 35

Simplifying

x = 35

Expand the following 1/6 (18x-24)
monitta
Hello,

What we want to do is multiply 1/6 by each value within the parentheses individually.

So, it would be:
(1/6) * (18x) = 3x
(1/6) * (-24) = -4

Together, this would be 3x-4.

Hope this helps!

A candy store called "Sugar" built a giant hollow sugar cube out of wood to hang above the entrance to their store. It took 5454
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

27 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The total surface area of the cube is 54 ft^2.

A cube has 6 congruent square sides.

54 ft^2/5 = 9 ft^2

Each square side has area 9 ft^2.

The area of a square is the square of the side, so the side of a square is the square root of the area.

side = sqrt(9 ft)^2 = 3 ft

The volume of a cube is the cube of the side.

volume = (3 ft)^3

volume = 27 ft^3

Consider the following theorem and proof.Theorem: The number âš2 is not rational number.Proof: Let's suppose âš2 is a rational n
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The statement "Both of the numbers a and b cannot be even." is justified by the fact that a/b is simplified lowest terms

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to  show that the √2 is an irrational number.

And from the given steps of proof stated in the question, we need to find the assumption that justifies the fact : " Both of the number a and b cannot be even".

First take the given options :

Option a : √2 is a rational number

√2 being an rational or irrational has no relation of a and b to be even or odd. So, this option is rejected.

Option B : a/b is simplified lowest terms

This shows that a and b are not even because if a and b are even then a/b can be simplified in other lowest term.

Option c : √2 is a irrational number

Similarly, By using the inverse part of Option A, option c is also rejected.

Option d : The fact that b divides a evenly

This only shows that the a is even. This does not give any idea about b is even or not. So option D is also rejected.

Option E : The fact that a and b are whole numbers

This fact does not imply that the a and b are even or odd. So option E is also rejected.

Hence, The statement "Both of the numbers a and b cannot be even." is justified by the fact that a/b is simplified lowest terms

Standard form of a line passing through points (1, 3) and (-2, 5)
____ [38]

Answer:

<h2>2x + 3y = 33 </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

As we move from (-2, 5) to (1, 3), x increases by 3 and y decreases by 2.

Hence, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = -2/3.

Start with the slope-intercept form y = mx + b.

Substitute 3 for y and 1 for x and -2/3 for m:

3 = (-2/3)(1) + b.

Remove fractions by mult. all three terms by 3:

9 = -2 + b, so b = 11, and y = (-2/3)x + 11

Again, mult. all three terms by 3:

3y = -2x + 33, or, in standard form,

<h2>2x + 3y = 33 </h2>
