Answer: -8.5625

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distributive property.... ex: 8(x+1)= 8x+1 (by multiplying both by 8)

8x+1-31x-124=14-7x

Combine like variables

-23x-123=14-7x

Bring like variables to the same side of the equation by changing the sign(+,-)

-16x=137

Divide -16 by both sides

x=-8.5625

X = 2y
2x + 2y = 24
So if x = 2y that means 2x = 4y. Which means that 2x + 2y = 24 can be written as 4y + 2y = 24. Simplified to 6y = 24. Now we need to get 1y so we divide both sides by 6, 6y/6 = y and 24/6 = 4. so y = 4. so x= 2y can be written as x = 8.

Can someone explain to me how to do this question? It needs to be simplified and no decimals or fractions.

Masteriza [31]

$\sqrt{180} - \sqrt{45 } \\ = \sqrt{2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3 \times 5} - \sqrt{3 \times 3 \times 5 } \\$

Taking common

$\sqrt{3 \times 3 \times 5} ( \sqrt{4} - 1) \\ = 3 \sqrt{5} (2 - 1) \\ = 3 \sqrt{5}$

Hope it helps mate
