Answer:

x=16/3

Step-by-step explanation:

5x−2(x+1)=14

Distribute

5x -2x -2 =14

Combine like terms

3x -2 =14

Add 2 to each side

3x-2+2 =14+2

3x=16

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = 16/3

x=16/3

Answer:

x = 16/3

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 2(x + 1) = 14

~Simplify

5x - 2x - 2 = 14

~Combine like terms

3x - 2 = 14

~Add 2 to both sides

3x = 16

~Divide 3 to both sides

x = 16/3

Best of Luck!

Kim and Daniel are selling wrapping paper for a school fundraiser. Customers can buy rolls of plain wrapping paper and rolls of
ivanzaharov [21]

There are two equation:

1) From Kim

2) From Daniel


Let:

x be the cost of rolls of plain wrapping paper

y be the cost of rolls of shiny wrapping paper


Kim:

7x + 8y = 140

Daniel:

14x + 7y = 154


<u>Using elimination method:</u>

(7x + 8y = 140) * -2  (Multiplying the equation by -2)

-14x - 16y = -280


-14x  -16y = -280

14x + 7y = 154

------------------------------

0x - 9y = -126

9y = 126 (Negative sign cancels from both sides)

y = 126 /9

y = 14


The cost of each shiny wrapping paper is $14.


Now solve x, you pick any two equation to solve for x.

7x + 8y = 140

7x + 8(14) = 140 (You know from above y =14)

7x + 112 = 140

7x = 28

x = 28/7

x = 4


The cost of each plain wrapping paper is $4.


Solution: (4,14)

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

BE = 49

Step-by-step explanation:

In triangle BDC

  65^2=56^2+BD^2

  65^2-56^2=BD^2

  4225-3136=BD^2

  1089=BD^2

   33=BD

In triangle FDE

    65^2=63^2+DE^2

    4225-3969=DE^2

    256 = DE^2

    16=DE

since ED+DB=BE

THEREFORE

      16+33=BE

         49=BE
