Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve:
Distribute 5 among everything inside the first parentheses. You'll get 5x - 15.
Next distribute -2 among everything in the second parentheses. You'll get
-2x - 2.
<u>All together: 5x - </u><u>15</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>2x </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>= 4</u>
Now combine like terms:
5x - 2x = 3x and -15 - 2 = - 17
<u>All</u><u> </u><u>together</u><u>: 3x -</u><u> </u><u>17 = 4</u>
Add 17 on both sides to get 21, and then divide both sides by 3. Answer is x = 7.
________________________________
Last, don't forget to check your work.
You can plug in 7 for x to get:
5(7 - 3) = 20
5 × 7 = 35
5 × -3 = -15
35 - 15 = 20
-2(7 + 1) = -16
-2 × 7 = -14
-2 × 1 = - 2
-14 -2 = -16
<u>20 - 16 = 4</u>
⬆⬆⬆Therefore this is correct.

Answer:
In that one week, his commision was $896, over all 52 weeks, he made $46592
Step-by-step explanation:
So, he makes 14% commision on any stock he sells. This week, he sold $6,400 worth of stocks, and, hes going to make 14% on it. So, take 6400 and divide that by 14%, and what do you get? $896! So, he made $896 that week. Now, say he made that amount EVERY WEEK. so, all you have to do is know how many weeks are in a year (52) and multiply that by 896, which gives you 46592.
B - 8x
To find this, combine like terms.
8x - 2x is 6x, then add the two x's on the side to bring it back to 8x.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
23) 35.77 in²
25) 48.19 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the appropriate area formula with the given information.
__
23) The area of a triangle is given by the formula ...
A = 1/2bh . . . . . base b, height h
A = 1/2(9.8 in)(7.3 in) = 35.77 in²
__
25) The area of a parallelogram is given by the formula ...
A = bh . . . . . . base b, height h
A = (7.9 cm)(6.1 cm) = 48.19 cm²
_____
The <em>height</em> in each figure is <em>measured perpendicular to the base</em>. This tells you that the length 10.6 cm of the diagonal side of the triangle is not relevant to finding the area.
