1.) Group like terms: 4x+3x-5x+5x+5x-3x+2x-8x+2x-5x-5+7
2.) Add similar elements: = 4x+3x-5x+5x+5x-3x+2x-8x+2x-5x=0
3.) =-5+7
4.) Add/Subtract the numbers: -5 + 7 = 2
<u>Your Answer: 2</u>
Answer:
C. 3x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
A. can be factored; Factor 5 from all terms:
(15x - 10)/5 = 3x - 2
B. can be factored; Factor 4 from all terms:
(4x + 8)/4 = x + 2
D. can be factored; Factor 2 from all terms:
(2x - 2)/2 = x - 1

The answer is 7, your welcome if this helped!
X represents the length of a deck. There are three parts to this equations. The 1. width, 2. the length, and 3. the 5 feet shorter. Using the key words, y = the width of a deck (uses the term is which means =) So that takes the width part out of the equation. Then, 5 feet shorter means -5 than a number. That takes away the 5 feet shorter part of the equation. That leaves x to equal the length of the deck.
