What value of x makes the equation 3(x-6)-8x= -2+5(2x+1) true

Mathematics
1 answer:
QveST [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x= −7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Distribute and combine like terms

3(x−6)−8x=−2+5(2x+1)

(3)(x)+(3)(−6)+−8x=−2+(5)(2x)+(5)(1)(Distribute)

3x+−18+−8x=−2+10x+5

(3x+−8x)+(−18)=(10x)+(−2+5)(Combine Like Terms)

−5x+−18=10x+3

−5x−18=10x+3

Step 2: Subtract 10x from both sides.

−5x−18−10x=10x+3−10x

−15x−18=3

Step 3: Add 18 to both sides.

−15x−18+18=3+18

−15x=21

Step 4: Divide both sides by -15.

Hope this helps! :)

How much carpet would you need in square feet to cover a floor with dimensions of 12 feet by 15 feet?
Alisiya [41]

Answer:8

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = Length x Width.

simple room measurement

Measure the length using the distance from one wall to the opposite wall.

Measure the width from wall to wall.

Add 2 to 4 inches to each side. This accounts for waste, doors and slanting walls. It’s easy to cut a little off for a perfect fit, but it’s impossible to add without creating unsightly seams.

Multiply the length times the width or enter those into the calculator above. This is your total square footage for that room.

Repeat this process for each room.

Can someone help me plz
galina1969 [7]
A= about 75 cents -- This is because you would figure out what 5% is equal to (.05). Then, you would do .05 x 14.90 to get the amount of sales tax you will be paying. By doing this you will get .745 which is approximately .75 which would become 75 cents

b= $15.65 -- For this one, you would do the cents (.75) plus the total (14.90) So you would do 14.90+.75 which = 15.65.

Hope this helped :)
