Answer:

x = 2

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

2.5(6x - 4) = 10 + 4(1.5 + 0.5x)

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

  1. Distribute:                                   15x - 10 = 10 + 6 + 2x
  2. Combine like terms:                   15x - 10 = 16 + 2x
  3. Subtract 2x on both sides:        13x - 10 = 16
  4. Add 10 to both sides:                 13x = 26
  5. Divide both sides by 13:             x = 2

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                    2.5(6(2) - 4) = 10 + 4(1.5 + 0.5(2))
  2. Multiply:                               2.5(12 - 4) = 10 + 4(1.5 + 1)
  3. Subtract/Add:                      2.5(8) = 10 + 4(2.5)
  4. Multiply:                               20 = 10 + 10
  5. Add:                                     20 = 20

Here we see that 20 does indeed equal 20.

∴ x = 2 is a solution of the equation.

Answer: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

2.5(6x-4)=10+4(1.5+0.5x) [Work out the brackets]

15x-10=0+6+2x [Solve]

15x-10=16+2x [Convey the terms]

15x-2x=16+10 [Add up the same terms and calculate]

13x=26 [Divide both parts]

x=2

How do I factor 6x^2+17x+5=0
Sergio [31]

Split the second term in 6x^2 + 17x + 5 into two terms

6x^2 + 15x + 2x + 5 = 0

Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.

3x(2x + 5) + (2x + 5) = 0

Factor out the common term 2x + 5

(2x + 5)(3x + 1) = 0

Solve for x

<u>x = -5/2, -1/3</u>

What number plus 2 less than 3 times the number equals 14
Afina-wow [57]

Obviously this will be a negative number

-2 - 14 = 5x - 3x

 

-16 = 2x

x = %28-16%29%2F2

x = -8 is the number

:

:

Check solution in the original statement: x=-8

3(-8) - 2 = 5(-8) + 14

-24 - 2 = -40 + 14

-26 = -26
