First, we distribute the 2 through the parenthesis.
3x+2x+8=5(x+1)+3
Then we distribute the 5 through the parenthesis
3x+2x+8=5x+5+3
Collect the like terms
5x+8=5x+5+3
Add the numbers
5x+8=5x+8
The statement is true for any value of x, because both sides are identical
The answer is X = 6
Because 3 times 2 x is 6x ... then -1 plus 1 is 0 so it levels out and x is 6
The answer would be 110 degrees.
Answer:
Her first error was adding the wrong number to both sides. Instead of 4², it should be 2²
Step-by-step explanation:
When completing the square, the number that needs to be added to both sides is (b/2)²
In this problem, b is 4. So, Carly should have added 2² to both sides, but she added 4² instead.
So, her first error was adding 4² to both sides instead of 2²
Corresponding measures have the same ratio.
.. (x -1)/4 = (2x +1)/10
.. 5(x -1) = 2(2x +1) . . . . . . multiply by 20
.. 5x -5 = 4x +2 . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
.. x = 7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 5 -4x
x = 7
