・x = 4

*୨୧ ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ୨୧*      

♡ The Explanation/Step-By-Step ♡      

・-2 (x + 7) = x -34 + 2x

-2 (x + 7) = x + 2x - 34

-2 (x + 7) = 3x - 34

-2 (x + 7) : -2x - 14

-2 (x + 7)

Apply the distributive law! : a(b + c) = ab + ac

a = -2, b = x, c = 7

= -2 + (-2) x 7

Apply minus (-) plus rules!

+ (-a) = -a

= -2x - 2 x 7

Multiply the numbers! : 2 x 7 = 14

= -2x - 14

-2x - 14 = 3x - 34

Add 14 to both sides!

-2x - 14 + 14 = 3x - 34 + 14

Simplify!

-2x = 3x - 20

Subtract 3x from both sides!

-2x - 3x = 3x - 30 - 3x

Simplify!

-5x = -20

Divide both sides by -5!

-5x/-5 = -20/-5

Simplify! : -5x/-5 : x

Apply the fraction rule! : -a/-b = a/b

= 5x/5

Divide the numbers! : 5/5 = 1

= x

Simplify! : -20/-5 : 4

-20/-5

Apply the fraction rule! : -a/-b = a/b

= 20/5

Divide the numbers! 20/5 = 4

= 4

x = 4

PLEASE HELP!! Trevor is writing a paper that must be 50,000 words long. He had already written 23,210 words. Write an inequality
almond37 [142]

Answer:

50,000 ≤ 23,210 + 5x

x = Average number of words per week

Step-by-step explanation:

Start off with 50,000 because that's how many words the paper needs to have.

Use "≤" because Trevor needs to write at least 50,000 words. (He can write more).

Trevor already wrote 23,210 words plus x words per week for 5 weeks.

(Solving for x will help you find the average number of words Trevor must write per week for 5 weeks).

Find the perimeter of a regular pentagon with sides of (3x + 5).
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

  5(3x + 5)   or   15x + 25

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular pentagon has 5 sides of equal length. The perimeter is the sum of the lengths of those sides. We can use multiplication to find the sum of 5 of the same value:

  P = 5(3x +5)

Perhaps you want it expanded. Using the distributive property, we multiply each term in parentheses by 5:

  P = 15x + 25
