What is X in the equation -15x+15(-4)=-30

Mathematics
1 answer:
love history [14]3 years ago
7 0

<em><u>Answer: x=-2 *The answer should be the negative sign.*</u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac

remove parenthesis

-15x-15*4=-30

15*4=60

-15x-60=-30

add 60 both sides of an equation.

-15x-60+60=-30+60

simplify.

-15x=30

divide by -15 both sides of an equation.

-15x/-15=30/-15

simplify.

30/15=2

x=-2

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!

Four children have small toys. The first child has 1/10 of the toys, the second child has 12 more toys than the first, the third
GREYUIT [131]
Let the total toys be x.

The first has (1/10)x =  x/10


The third child has one more toys than the first =  x/10  + 1

The fourth has double of the third:  =  2* (x/10 + 1)  =  2x/10 + 2


Since we know that the second child has 12 more toys than the first

Therefore the Second  minus First = 12.


First let us find the second.

1st + 2nd + 3rd + 4th = x

x/10   +  2nd +  (x/10 + 1) + (2x/10 + 2) = x

2nd + x/10  + x/10 + 1 + 2x/10 + 2 = x

2nd + x/10 + x/10 + 2x/10 + 1 + 2  = x

2nd + 4x/10 + 3 = x

2nd = x - 4x/10 - 3

2nd =  6x/10  - 3

But recall

2nd - 1st = 12

6x/10 - 3 - x/10 = 12

6x/10 - x/10 = 12 + 3

5x/10 = 15

5x =  15 * 10

x  = 15*10 /5

x = 30

So there were 30 toys in all.

Slove the equation V=(20-2x)(15-2x)(x) for V
Schach [20]

Answer:

V = 300x + -70x2 + 4x3

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

V = (20 + -2x)(15 + -2x)(x)

Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:

V = x(20 + -2x)(15 + -2x)

Multiply (20 + -2x) * (15 + -2x)

V = x(20(15 + -2x) + -2x * (15 + -2x))

V = x((15 * 20 + -2x * 20) + -2x * (15 + -2x))

V = x((300 + -40x) + -2x * (15 + -2x))

V = x(300 + -40x + (15 * -2x + -2x * -2x))

V = x(300 + -40x + (-30x + 4x2))

Combine like terms: -40x + -30x = -70x

V = x(300 + -70x + 4x2)

V = (300 * x + -70x * x + 4x2 * x)

V = (300x + -70x2 + 4x3)

Solving

V = 300x + -70x2 + 4x3

Solving for variable 'V'.

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

Simplifying

V = 300x + -70x2 + 4x3

What is the 7th term of the geometric sequence 4, -20, 100
Sloan [31]
1st let's calculate r the common ratio:
 r = (-20)/4 = (100/-20) = -5

Value of nth term = a₁.rⁿ⁻¹, where a₁= 1st term and n, the rank

Value of nth term = 4r⁽⁷⁻¹⁾ = 4.(-5)⁶

Value of nth term = 62,500
