3(2x+2)=3x-15
mutiply the bracket by 3
(3)(2x)(3)(2)= 6x+6
6x+6= 3x-15
move 3x to the other side
sign changes from +3x to -3x
6x-3x+6= 3x-3x-15
6x-3x+6= -15
3x+6= -15
move +6 to the other side
sign changes from +6 to -6
3x+6-6= -15-6
3x= -21
divide by 3 for both sides
3x/3= -21/3
x= -7
Answer: x= -7

1st cleaning company: 
2nd cleaning company: 
set up as a system of equations. for them to cancle out make the y of one equation negative. I'll be making the second one negative ( it doesn't matter though)
it will look like:


make the two equations on top of eachother and line the terms up. Then combine them. The variable "y" will cancle out and you'll be left with
then you will add 3x to both sides to get
then divide both sides by 3 to get 
if you plug in 5 for x into both of the original equations you will see that they will both make $100 in five hours. So you answer is 5
Answer:
Angle 8 = 84 degrees
Angle 5 = 96 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Angle 8 = 84 degrees because Angle 2 and Angle 8 are inside opposite which makes them equivalent.
Angle 5 = 96 degrees because 180-84=96
Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
Use ratio method
98:2
850:x
so, x = (850 x 2) divided by 98 = 17.3469388
Round it to nearest whole number = 17
