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.
Hence, value of x = -8.
y-intercept: 11
which means the baby weighs 11 lb when it is born (t=0).
