Remark

Forget the Gamestop. I'd never use it. This one is on the house.

Solution

2.5(10 - x) + 10 = 72 - 1.5x*(5x + 12)   The first step is to remove the brackets.  Be very careful you understand the bracket on the right.

25 - 2.5x + 10 = 72 - 7.5x - 18            Study the signs carefully. Collect like terms.

35 - 2.5x = 54 - 7.5x                   Add 7.5x to both sides.

35 - 2.5x + 7.5x = 54 - 7.5x + 7.5x

35 + 5x = 54                               Subtract 35 from both sides.

5x = 19                                        Divide by  5

x = 19/5

x = 3 4/5 = 3.8

Check

When you numbers are so cumbersome, you should check the answer.

<em><u>LHS</u></em>

2.5(10 - 3.8) + 10

2.5(6.2) + 10

15.5 + 10

25.5

<em><u>RHS</u></em>

72 - 1.5(5*3.8 +12)

72 - 1.5(19 + 12)

72 - 1.5(31)

72 - 46.5

25.5

<em><u>RHS = LHS</u></em> The solution checks.

algol13
<h2>Answer:</h2><h2></h2><h3>21m</h3><h2></h2><h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

The diagram and complete question is shown below. We know that the length (L) of the living scale in the drawing is:

L=16.8cm

We also know that the scale is:

Scale:2cm=2.5m

Then, by using proportion we have:

\frac{2.5m}{2cm}=\frac{x}{16.8cm} \\ \\ \\ Isolating \ x: \\ \\ x=\frac{2.5m}{2cm}(16.8cm) \\ \\ \boxed{x=21m}

The map of a walking trail is drawn on a coordinate grid with three points of interest. The trail starts at R(−1, 4) and goes to
den301095 [7]

Answer:

12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The first segment, RS, is along the grid line y=4 from x=-1 to x=5, a total distance of 5-(-1)=6 grid units.

The second segment, ST, is along the grid line x=5 from y=4 to y=-2, a total distance of 4-(-2)=6 grid units.

The total length of the trail is the sum of the lengths of the first and second segments, so is 6+6=12 units.

_____

It can help to plot the points on a graph so you can better see what it is you're being asked to find.
