<u>Answer:</u>
The value of x is in the solution set of 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2 is -10
<u>Solution:</u>
Need to determine which value of x from given option is solution set of 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2
Lets first solve 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2
3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2
=> 3x – 12 ≥ 5x + 2
=> 3x – 5x ≥ 12 + 2
=> -2x ≥ 14
=> -x ≥ 7
=> x ≤ -7
All the values of x which are less than or equal to -7 is solution set of 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2. From given option there is only one value that is -10 which is less than -7
Hence from given option -10 is solution set of 3(x – 4) ≥ 5x + 2.
X = shorter piece
y = longer piece = 5x
shorter piece + longer piece = 60
x + 5x = 60
6x = 60
x = 60/6
x = 10 in. <== shorter piece
y = 5x
y = 5(10)
y = 50 in. <== longer piece
Answer:

Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you have to align the like terms next to each other so that it will be easier to combine like terms. (Like terms have the same variables and powers)

Combine like terms:
(When combining like terms all you have to do is add/subtract the coefficients, number in front of variables, and leave the variable and exponents)



So, we get
