Answer: x = 3


Step-by-step explanation:Simplifying

12 + 5x = 18 + 3x

Solving

12 + 5x = 18 + 3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.

12 + 5x + -3x = 18 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 5x + -3x = 2x

12 + 2x = 18 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0

12 + 2x = 18 + 0

12 + 2x = 18

Add '-12' to each side of the equation.

12 + -12 + 2x = 18 + -12

Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0

0 + 2x = 18 + -12

2x = 18 + -12

Combine like terms: 18 + -12 = 6

2x = 6

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 3

Simplifying

x = 3

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, get your variables and constants separated on either side of the =

Whatever you do to one side, you have to do to the other.

12 + 5x = 18 + 3x

subtract 3x from both sides to cancel out the 3x on the right:

12 + 5x - 3x = 18 + 3x - 3x    

12 + 2x = 18

subtract 12 from both sides to cancel out the 12 on the left side:

12 - 12 + 2x = 18 - 12    

now just solve for x

2x = 6

divide both sides by 2 to cancel out the 2 on the left side:

2x / 2 = 6 / 2

x = 3

Galina-37 [17]
To find this answer you need to find the area of the whole cake and divide it by 8. To find area of a circle, you need the formula (pi)*r^2. The radius is the diameter divided by two. Your final formula would be (pi)*8^2. This is approx. 201.06 in^2. Divide this number by 8, and you have your answer. I got 25.13 in^2.

How do you factor a polynomial when one root has been given
zloy xaker [14]
So first what you are going to do is divide synthetically your root aka factor into your given equation. Then you are going to kind of guess ands check to find the other factor by synthetically dividing what you have left which should be
x^2 +2x +1 by -5, 5 (to make sure there is no multiplicity), 1, and -1 until you get zero in your remainder spot. The number you used to divide will be your other root.
