We are given:
2x + 5 - 3x = 8(x + 1)
We can start with several things. First, we can combine the x terms on the left side of the equation, and apply the distributive property on the right side of the equation.
5 - x = 8x + 8
Now, we can add x to both sides, and subtract 8 from both sides to isolate the variable.
5 - x = 8x + 8
-8 + x + x -8
We end up with:
9x = -3
By dividing both sides by 9, we get x = 
.
If you want to check your answer, just plug x in!
2() + 5 - 3() = 8( + 1)
+ 5 + 1 = 
+ 8
+ 
= + 
=
As you can see, = as a result of having x = .
Answer:
r = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
3(r+2)+5(2−r)=−32
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
3(r+2)+5(2−r)=−32
(3)(r)+(3)(2)+(5)(2)+(5)(−r)=−32(Distribute)
3r+6+10+−5r=−32
(3r+−5r)+(6+10)=−32(Combine Like Terms)
−2r+16=−32
−2r+16=−32
Step 2: Subtract 16 from both sides.
−2r+16−16=−32−16
−2r=−48
Step 3: Divide both sides by -2.
−2r/-2 = -48/-2
r = 24
I’m assuming you’re saying with an exponent. 7x^2+5
Answer:
The reciprocal of 16 is 1/16
Step-by-step explanation:
The reasoning for this is that the reciprocal of any number is the opposite of it.
Another example would be: The reciprocal of 1/2 would be 2/1
