Answer:
x = -24
Step-by-step explanation:
First, distribute 2 to all terms within the parenthesis:
2(x + 11) =
2 * x = 2x
2 * 11 = 22
2x + 22 = -26
Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. PEMDAS is the order of operations, and stands for:
Parenthesis
Exponents (& Roots)
Multiplications
Divisions
Additions
Subtractions
~
First, subtract 22 from both sides of the equation:
2x + 22 (-22) = -26 (-22)
2x = -26 - 22
2x = -48
Next, divide 2 from both sides of the equation:
(2x)/2 = (-48)/2
x = -48/2
x = -24
x = -24 is your answer.

So for eliminating, you only solve for one variable first.
I solved for y, so I multiplied by -4 to eliminate the x.
Then I got y= -1
I then substituted that to one of the equations to get x.
This expression is correct. It shows the price John pays for the jeans on the left side of the + symbol (30n), and the amount of tax he has to pay on the right side of the symbol (0.08(30n)).
Hope this helps!
Answer:
h = 60 ; x = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
You are going to want to use Pythagorean Theorem to solve these.
Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
h² + 144² = 156²
h² + 20736 = 24336
h² = 3600
h = 60
x² + 60² = 65²
x² + 3600 = 4225
x² = 625
x = 25
