Now we have to,

find the required value of x.

Let's begin,

→ 3x-2 = 2(x-5)

→ 3x-2 = 2x-10

→ 3x-2x = -10+2

→ x = -8

Hence, value of x is -8.

Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 2 = 2 ( x + 5

Solve for x.

Let's solve,

3x - 2 = <u>2 ( x + 5 )</u>

Step 1:- Distribute 2.

3x - 2 = 2 × x + 2 × 5

3x <u>- 2</u> = 2x - 10

Step 2 :- Move constant to the right-hand and change their sign.

3x = 2x <u>- 10 + 2</u>

Step 3:- Add -10 and 2.

3x = <u>2x</u> - 8

Step 4 :- Move variable to the left-hand side and change their sign.

<u>3x - 2x</u> = -8

Step 5 :- Subtract 2x from 2x.

x = -8

Hence, value of x = -8.

What is the solution to this equation? <br> log_7 (5 + 11x) = 2

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of logarithms

$log_{b}$ x = n , then x = $b^{n}$

Given

$log_{7}$ (5 + 11x) = 2 , then

5 + 11x = 7² = 49 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

11x = 44 ( divide both sides by 11 )

x = 4

3. Do you think the government is partially responsible for America’s debt crisis? Why or why not?

eimsori [14]

Yes, I do. They are making large transactions without knowing if they will invest anything, and yes, while it is sometimes necessary to take risks, they are not thinking enough about the future and how if they make another mistake everything could go downhill. They also live in the lap of luxury, not cutting out a bit of the money which they w=could be using to repay the debts they owe.

There are 7 ushers and 11 technicians helping at the Harper Middle School fall play.

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

<h3>The ratio of technicians to all helpers is 11 : 7, or $\frac{11}{7}$ or 11 to 7.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are 7 ushers and 11 technicians helping at the Harper Middle School fall play.
Let x be the number of ushers ( or helpers ).
Therefore x=7 helpers.
Let y be the number of technicians.
Therefore y=11 technicians.

<h3>To find the ratio of technicians to all helpers :</h3>

That is to find the ratio of y to x.

We can write the ratio of technicians to all ushers(helpers) as y : x

Which implies that 11 : 7, (since y=11 and x=7)

Or $\frac{11}{7}$ or 11 to 7

<h3>The ratio of technicians to all helpers is 11 : 7, or $\frac{11}{7}$ or 11 to 7</h3>
