So first you distribute the 5 to the x and the +2 and get
5x+10=3(x+8)
 then you distribute the 3 to the other x and the +8 and get
5x+10=3x+24
subtract 3x from both sides
2x+10=24
subtract 10 from both sides and get
2x=14
divide both sides by 2 and get
x=7

How to write a whole number into a fraction in a subtraction problem
insens350 [35]
Im hoping you just want an example so here you go

whole number: 16
fraction version of 16: 16/1

to subtract fractions you have to have a common denominator.

so if i had a problem like     6 -1/3
step 1 would be to turn 6 into a fraction: 6/1
step 2 is to find the common denominator:
6/1 -1/3, in this case it is 3, so you multuply the first term by 3
you would then get     18/3 - 1/3,  now all you do if subract numerators, 18-3=15

final answer would be 15/3, you can simplify it into 5/1 which is also 5

write an expression for the cost of hiring a taxi to travel K kilometres if there is a fixed cost of $2 plus $.50per kilometres.
BigorU [14]
Well we want to pull out the important values here to determine our expression which in this case is $2 and $.50. Since the fixed cost is 2 and there is .50 per kilometer. We can say that .50(m)+2 is our expression. Hope this helps! I apologize if you were looking for something else in advance.

Without solving determine the number of real solutions for each quadratic equation
seropon [69]

Answer:

b^2-4b+3=0

b²-3x-b+3=0

b(b-3)-1(b-3)=0

(b-3)(b-1)=0

either

b=3 or b=1

.

2n^2 + 7 = -4n + 5

2n²+4n+7-5=0

2n²+4n+2=0

2(n²+2n+1)=0

(n+1)²=0/2

:.n=-1

.

x - 3x^2 = 5+ 2x - x^2

0=5+ 2x - x^2-x +3x^2

0=5+x+2x²

2x²+x+5=0

comparing above equation with ax²+bx +c we get

a=2

b=1

c=5

x={-b±√(b²-4ac)}/2a ={-1±√(1²-4×2×5)}/2×1

={-1±√-39}/2
