Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
3(x−5)−5=23
(3)(x)+(3)(−5)+−5=23(Distribute)
3x+−15+−5=23
(3x)+(−15+−5)=23(Combine Like Terms)
3x+−20=23
3x−20=23
Step 2: Add 20 to both sides.
3x−20+20=23+20
3x=43
Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.
3x
/3 = 43

$40,000
Let x be the sales amount.
600+0.02x=1000+0.01x
x=$40,000
X=4
Y=-0.5
Do you need an explanation?
Answer:x=-5 and x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
log(x^2-15)=log(2x)
Cancel log at both sides we get
x^2-15=2x
Collect like terms
x^2-2x-15=0
x^2-3x+5x-15=0
x(x-3)+5(x-3)=0
(x+5)(x-3)=0
x+5=0 x-3=0
x=-5 x=3
