<span>The sum of 5 times a number and -2, added to nine times a number.
.
Looking at the first part:
The sum of '5 times a number' and '-2'
we get
5x + (-2)
or
5x - 2
.
The above is then "added to nine times a number" to get:
5x - 2 + 9x
Combining x's we get:
14x - 2

<span>Take it piece by piece:
5 times a number, rewrite as 5x
plus -2, nothing to rewrite there, that's already simplified,
added to nine times a number, rewrite as 9x.
Now, rewrite as an equation:
5x-2+9x = (See, it already looks better!)
Now combine like terms:
5x + 9x -2= 14x - 2</span></span>
Answer:
a = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 14- 8 = 6
2. 6/-3 = -2
Answer:
x = 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Simply add 1/4 to both sides of the equation to isolate <em>x</em> and to get your answer.
x = 1/4 + 1/2
x = 1/4 + 2/4
x = 3/4 or 0.75
Answer:6 x 30 =18 x ex
180= 18 ex
ex =180/18
number of days = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
You can easily add while numbers but with decimals, if the point is put in the wrong place then you’ll change the entire number
