Move the 8 over
-x=3x-8
Move the 3x over
-x-3x=8
-4x=8
Divide by -4
x=-2
The answer is B. (2x + 5)(x + 1)You could answer this by expanding each answer until you found one that matched 2x^2 + 7x + 5, but I will only show how the answer expands:
2x × x = 2x^2
5 × x = 5x
2x × 1 = 2x
5 × 1 = 5
So in total those brackets expand to 2x^2 + 7x + 5. I hope this helps!
Answer:
.8
Step-by-step explanation:
t is the number of hours Lamar worked as a tutor
We know that he worked for 92 hours total, so he worked 92-t hours as a waiter.
So his earnings are: 7t + 8(92-t) = 736 -t dollars
This expression seems logical as if Lamar worked 0 hours as a tutor and 92 as a waiter his earnings would be 8*92 = 736
If he worked as a tutor for 92 hours it would be 7*92= 644
736-92= 644
So our expression seems to be working.
