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!

PtichkaEL [24]

<u>answer (in words)</u>

FALSE. the coordinate pair (5, 2) is not a solution to the equation 2x+3y=10. in order to figure out whether or not the statement is true or false, plug the x and y values from the coordinate pair (5, 2) into the given equation, 2x+3y=10. if both sides of the equation end up equal, the coordinate pair is a solution to the equation. if not, the coordinate pair is not a solution to that equation.

<em>(i hope i explained that well enough, i'm better at explaining it algebraically as opposed to putting it into words lol)</em>

<u>answer (algebraic/steps for solving)</u>

first, plug in 5 for x in the equation 2x+3y=10.

  • 2x+3y=10 ⇒ 2(5)+3y=10

then plug in 2 for y.

  • 2(5)+3y=10 ⇒ 2(5)+3(2)=10

now your equation is 2(5)+3(2)=10. all that's left to do is to simplify. you can do this in whatever order you'd like, but i'll start with multiplying 2 · 5.

  • 2(5)+3(2)=10 ⇒ 10 + 3(2) = 10

multiply 3 · 2.

  • 10 + 3(2) = 10 ⇒ 10 + 6 = 10

add 10 + 6.

  • 10 + 6 = 10 ⇒ 16=10

16 and 10 are <em>not</em> equal, therefore (5, 2) is not a solution to the equation 2x+3y=10. in order for a coordinate pair to be the solution to an equation, both sides of the equation need to end up equal after solving and simplifying.

i hope this helps! have a great rest of your day <3

On its municipal website, the city of Tulsa states that the rate it charges per 5 CCF of residential water is $21.62. How do the
Daniel [21]

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

answer :

H0 : <em> u </em>= 21.62    ( Null hypothesis )

H1 : <em> u</em> = 21.62   ( alternative hypothesis )

Step-by-step explanation:

Formulating hypothesis that can be used to determine whether the population mean rate at 5 CCF of residential water discharged by U.S public utilities differs from $21.62

H0 : <em> u </em>= 21.62    ( Null hypothesis )

H1 : <em> u</em> = 21.62   ( alternative hypothesis )

[Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

  • a is a leg
  • b is another leg
  • c is the hypotenuse<u> </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify variables</em>

Leg <em>a</em> = <em>a</em>

Leg <em>b</em> = 12

Hypotenuse <em>c</em> = 20

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

  1. Substitute in variables [Pythagorean Theorem]:                                            a² + 12² = 20²
  2. Evaluate exponents:                                                                                         a² + 144 = 400
  3. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Isolate <em>a</em> term:                                           a² = 256
  4. [Equality Property] Square root both sides:                                                    a = 16

Y=-5x+6<br> y=3x-2<br><br> Find the solution to the system of equations.
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

(1, 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = - 5x + 6 → (1)

y = 3x - 2 → (2)

Since both equations express y in terms of x, equate the right sides

3x - 2 = - 5x + 6 ( add 5x to both sides )

8x - 2 = 6 ( add 2 to both sides )

8x = 8 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 1

Substitute x = 1 into either of the 2 equations for corresponding value of y

Substituting x = 1 in (2)

y = 3(1) - 2 = 3 - 2 = 1

Solution is (1, 1 )
