Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x - 3) = 2(x + 3)                     Distribute

5x - 15 = 2x + 6                    

    + 15         + 15                     Switch sides to the liked terms

5x = 2x + 6 + 15

-2x  -2x                                   Switch sides to the liked terms

5x - 2x = 6 + 15  

<u>3x</u> = 21                                      Divide

3       3

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: 5(x-3) = 2(x+3)

Step 1: Simplify the equation.

5 (x − 3) = 2(x + 3)

(5)(x) + (5)(−3) = (2)(x) + (2)(3) Distribute

5x + −15 = 2x + 6

5x − 15 = 2x + 6

Step 2: Subtract 2x.

5x − 15 −2x = 2x + 6 −2x

3x − 15 = 6

Step 3: Add 15.

3x − 15 + 15 = 6 + 15

3x = 21

Step 4: Divide by 3.

\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{21}{3}

Step 5: Divide 21 by 3.

The answer is x = 7.

Draw at least six different sized rectangles that have an area of 64 square units
olga_2 [115]

Let

x------> the length of the rectangle

y------> the width of the rectangle

we know that

The area of a rectangle is equal to

A=x*y

A=64\ units^{2}

so

x*y=64 --------> equation 1

let's assume different values of x to get the different values of y

<u>case 1)</u> For x=64 units

substitute in the equation 1

x*y=64

y=64/x

y=64/64

y=1\ units      

the dimensions of the rectangle are 64 units x 1 unit

see the draw in the attached figure N 1

<u>case 2)</u> For x=32 units

substitute in the equation 1

x*y=64

y=64/x

y=64/32

y=2\ units

the dimensions of the rectangle are 32 units x 2 units

see the draw in the attached figure N 2

<u>case 3)</u> For x=16 units  

substitute in the equation 1

x*y=64

y=64/x

y=64/16

y=4\ units

the dimensions of the rectangle are 16 units x 4 units

see the draw in the attached figure N 3

<u>case 4)</u> For x=30 units

substitute in the equation 1

x*y=64      

y=64/x

y=64/30

y=\frac{32}{15} =2\frac{2}{15} \ units

the dimensions of the rectangle are 30 units x 2 (2/15) units

see the draw in the attached figure N 4

<u>case 5)</u> For x=40 units

substitute in the equation 1

x*y=64    

y=64/x

y=64/40

y=1.60\ units

the dimensions of the rectangle are 40 units x 1.60 units

see the draw in the attached figure N 5

<u>case 6)</u> For x=60 units

substitute in the equation 1

x*y=64    

y=64/x

y=64/60

y=\frac{16}{15} =1\frac{1}{15} \ units

the dimensions of the rectangle are 60 units x 1 (1/15) units

see the draw in the attached figure N 6

How many times bigger is 3x10^8 then 6x10^7​? Plz put an explanation
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

240000000 times bigger.

If we solve 3x10^8 we get 300000000

Then if we solve for 6x10^7 we get 60000000

Subtract those two using long subtraction to evaluate and we get 240000000
