Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

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

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. (Parenthesis) Distribute:                                                                               3x - 6 + 8 = 2x + 10
  2. Combine like terms:                                                                                     3x + 2 = 2x + 10
  3. {Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2x on both sides:                    x + 2 = 10
  4. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2 on both sides:                      x = 8

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                                                                                               3(8 - 2) + 8 = 2(8 + 5)
  2. (Parenthesis) Subtract/Add:                                                                         3(6) + 8 = 2(13)
  3. Multiply:                                                                                                         18 + 8 = 26
  4. Add:                                                                                                               26 = 26

Here we see that 26 does indeed equal 26.

∴ x = 8 is the solution to the equation.

Gentry poured 23.5 ounces of milk and 7.75 ounces of cream in a mixing bowl.
denpristay [2]
Notice that because the capacity of the bowl is 35.5 ounces, but there has already been 31.25 ounces total added to it (23.5 ounces + 7.75 ounces), all that needs to be done is subtract 31.25 from 35.5:
35.5 - 31.25 = 4.25 ounces of cream could be added

Find the 72nd term of the arithmetic sequence 11, 7, 3, ...
Katen [24]

Answer:

-273

Step-by-step explanation:

find the common difference:

d = 7 - 11 = - 4

a_1 = 11

a_72 =  (72 - 1)* (-4)  +  a_1

a_72 =  (71)* (-4)  +  11

a_72 =   -273
