Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 5 from each side, so it now looks like this: 2x = 12
Divide each side by 2 to cancel out the 2 next to x. It should now look like this: x = 6

I hope this helps!

What is the solution to the linear equation?

Burka [1]

$p=1$

To better understand the problem see the attached figure

we have

$\frac{2}{5}+p=\frac{4}{5}+\frac{3}{5}p$

Multiply by $5$ both sides

$5(\frac{2}{5}+p)=5(\frac{4}{5}+\frac{3}{5}p)$

$2+5p=4+3p$

Group terms that contain the same variable p and move the constant to the other side of the equation

$5p-3p=4-2$

$2p=2$

$p=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

if that is truly the full problem description, then we have

10x - x + 5 = 41

9x = 36

our simply

x = 4

so, I am not sure, what your teacher wants to see as result.

there is an infinite number of equations I could find, all with the solution x = 4.

The variable Z is directly proportional to X. When X is 12, Z has the value 228. What is the value of Z when X = 18

Kisachek [45]

Here, z = kx

k = z/x
k = 228/12
k = 19

So, when x = 18,
z = 19 * 18
z = 342

In short, Your Answer would be: 342

Hope this helps!

2[7+2(6.8-4)] whatbis the answer

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

25.2

Step-by-step explanation:

A calculator will evaluate this for you. If you don't have one, you can use a Google search box.

The Order of Operations tells you to start evaluation with the inner parentheses. Multiplication is performed before addition.

2(7 +2(2.8))

= 2(7 +5.6)

= 2(12.6)

= 25.2
