You can treat x and 2x+1 just as though they are real numbers.
So f(2x+1) = 3(2x+1) - 5 = 6x + 3 - 5 = 6x - 2
In the above, I made use of something called the distributive law which says that if a,b and c are real numbers, then a(b+c) = ab + ac.
Answer:
45/58 it is already in simplest form
Step-by-step explanation:
117/7 already is in the simplest form. It can be written as 16.714286 in decimal form (rounded to 6 decimal places).
Your first equation would be:
65 + 3x - 10 + 2x = 180
Then simplify to get:
5x + 55 = 180
Subtract 55 from each side:
5x = 125
Now divide by 5 to find x:
x = 25
The measure of angle B = 65
The measure of angle C = 50
Hope this helps!! :)
