Answer:

5(2x-8)+15=-15

10x-40+15=-15

10x-25=-15

    +25   +25 (add 25 to both sides)

____________

10x=10

divide by 10 on both sides

x=1

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

First youd distribute the 5 to the 2x-8 so that way you can combine like terms and make the equation smaller

10x - 40 + 15 = -15

combine the -40 and 15

10x - 25 = -15

add 25 to both sides to get 10x by itself on the one side. you have to add 25 to the -15 because the two sides must stay balanced

10x = 10

divide by 10 to get x by itself. you must divide since x is being multiplied by 10

x=1

if you prder two servings of pancakes and fruit cup the cost of the fruit cup is $1.50 and you leave a 15% tip your total bill i
Sindrei [870]

Both servings of pancakes cost $8.50

One serving of pancakes cost $4.35

Equation:   1.15 (2x + 1.50) = 11.50

                  2.3x + 1.725 + 11.50

                   2.3x = 9.725

                   x = 4.25 for one serving of pancakes

                   2x = 8.50 for both servings of pancakes

Triangle TRI has a base of m centimeters and a height of n centimeters. Rectangle RECT has a length of n centimeters and a width
hram777 [196]
The area of the triangle is 
a=( m x n) /2  in cm² , implies   2xa = m xn
the area of the rectanglle
A= n x m  in cm²
but we know  <span>  2xa = m xn = A,  </span>
that means  the surface of the rectangle is 2 times of the area of the triangle
