Answer:
x = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write out equation
5x + (-2) = 6x + 4
Step 2: Simplify
5x - 2 = 6x + 4
Step 3: Subtract 5x on both sides
-2 = x + 4
Step 4: Subtract 4 on both sides
-6 = x
Step 5: Rewrite
x = -6
24:28
52 (total books) minus 24 (fiction books) equals 28 (non fiction books)
Answer:
I'm pretty sure the answer is F
you split the problem into two separate problems and go from there.
so, (5x+15) and (xy+3y) then you take out the common factor in both
so, positive 5 out of (5x+15) and positive y out of (xy+3y)
you'll then have 5(x+3) and y(x+3)
The x=3 is similar in both problems so you can combine them to make one and combine the two factors you took out to make another problem.
So your final answer is (x+3)(5+y)
