Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply -3 for x and for 5

-3x-15=27

When you have this type of equation the first thing you do is take off the parentesis

Then you pass the 15 to the other side and you get -3x= 27 +15 . After that you divide that for -3 and you get the x . In this case x= -14

Sorry if the english is bad, i hope this helps

Answer:

Solutions are -10 and 26

Step-by-step explanation:

( - the abolute sign I'm using

( x - 8 ) + 2 = 20

( x - 8 ) = 18

x - 8 = 18 (postive case)

x - 8 + 8 = 18 + 8

x = 26

( x - 8 ) = 18

x - 8 = -18 (negative case)

x - 8 + 8 = -18 + 8

x = -10

brittany wants to make cookies at her school one batch of dough makes 2 dozen cookies she has 68 students at her school is it re
Anna [14]
Yes, it is reasonable for Brittany to think that she will need more than 2 batches of cookies to feed all of the people at her school.


One batch of dough makes 2 dozen cookies, or 24 cookies.
This means that two batches of dough makes 4 dozen cookies, or 48 cookies.

If Brittany only brought 48 cookies to school, some kids wouldn't get cookies.  So, we know that Brittany should probably bake more than 2 batches of cookies.
