Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

3(2x−4)−5(x−2)=1

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(2x−4)−5(x−2)=1

(3)(2x)+(3)(−4)+(−5)(x)+(−5)(−2)=1(Distribute)

6x+−12+−5x+10=1

(6x+−5x)+(−12+10)=1(Combine Like Terms)

x+−2=1

x−2=1

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

x−2+2=1+2

x=3

the city of brice is planning to build a skate park. An architect designed the area shown at the right. in the plan, the perimet

Amiraneli [1.4K]

The actual skate park's perimeter is 130 inches.

Explanation:

Step 1; Assume the initial garden has a width of y inches. It is given that the length is 25 inches. The perimeter of any given rectangle is twice the sum of the length and the width of the same rectangle. The initial perimeter is given as 80 inches.

Perimeter = 2 × (length of the rectange + width of the rectangle).

80 = 2 × (25 + y), 40 = 25 + y, y = 40 - 25 = 15

So the initial park has a width of 15 inches.

Step 2; Now we calculate the actual skate park's perimeter. The length is given as 50 inches and the width was found to be 15 inches.

Perimeter = 2 × (length of the rectange + width of the rectangle).

Perimeter = 2 × (50 + 15) = 2 × 65 = 130 inches.

ASAP! A biologist is to set up an aquarium in his laboratory. He intends to buy 11 piranhas and 5 sharks. He has a budget of £20

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

p = (200 -5s)/11

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you meant p is the price of piranhas, and a is the price of one shark.

You have:

11p + 5s = 200

11p = 200 - 5s

p = (200-5s)/11

Does that help? ;)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is only addition and subtraction, you can rearrange the order of the equations. This is what the three eqautions will look like after the arrangement:

1.6z + 8.3 z = ? (9.9z)

6.2y - 5.1y = ? (1.1y)

4.3x + 5.5x = ? (9.8x)

Then you just add and subtract.
