Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2(x - 4) = 5x + x - 10

First, we need to to multiply out the parathesis in the equation:

5x + 2(x - 4) = 5x + x - 10

5x + 2x - 8 = 5x + x - 10

Next, we can combine "like terms" to simplify the equation further:

5x + 2x - 8 = 5x + x - 10

7x - 8 = 6x - 10

Now we can isolate the variable "x" to one side:

7x - 8 = 6x - 10

x - 8 = -10

x = -2

To check our work, we can replace x with -2 in our original equation:

5x + 2(x - 4) = 5x + x - 10

5(-2) + 2 (-2 - 4) = 5(-2) + -2 - 10

-10 + 2 (-6) = -10 -2 - 10

-22 = -22

I hope this helps!

For f(x)=log(the 2 is below log)2(x), between which two integers does f(40) lie?

Veronika [31]

f(x) = log2 x

f(40) = log2 40

40 = 2^y

2^5 = 32 and 2^6 = 64

so f(40) lies between integers 5 and 6.

Answer:

Whoa, that's a lot to answer...

15. 30000=500x

16. y=58x+5

in 16, the total cost is y, so y has to be in 1 side for itself. and we need to add the amount of tickets and the fee (5$). So we get that equation.

In order to solve the following system of equations by addition, which of the

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Multiply the top equation by -3 and the bottom equation by 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equations:

$\begin{cases}4x-2y=7\\3x-3y=15 \end{cases}$

To solve the given system of equations by addition, make one of the variables in both equations sum to zero. To do this, the chosen variable must have the same coefficient, but it should be negative in one equation and positive in the other, so that when the two equations are added together, the variable is eliminated.

To eliminate the variable y:

Multiply the top equation by -3 to make the coefficient of the y variable 6:

$\implies -3(4x-2y=7) \implies -12x+6y=-21$
