Answer:

x=-9

Step-by-step explanation:

So, first you do the parentheses, 5(x+2), which comes out to 5x+10, so the equation becomes 5x+10=3x-8. Then, subtract 3x from both sides to get the x's all on one side. (5x-3x)+10=(3x-3x)-8 which equals 2x+10=-8. After that, subtract 10 from both sides to get the numbers all on one side. 2x+(10-10)=(-8-10) which equals 2x=-18. Then, you divide by 2 to get what x equals. (2x/2)=(-18/2) which makes x=-9.

(The work should look like this:)

5(x+2)=3x-8

5x+10=3x-8

2x+10=-8

2x=-18

x=-9

(hope this helps!)

Ed bought 3 liters of water, 2,750 milliliters of sports drinks, and 2.25 liters of juice. For numbers 4a-4e, select True or Fal
Naily [24]
<span>4a) 1000 milliliters = 1 liter, thus 3 liters = 3 x 1000 = 3000 milliliters.
Thus Ed bought 3000 - 2750 = 250 more water than sports drink.
Therefore, Ed bought 250 milliliters more water than sports drink is True.

4b) Ed bought 3 - 2.25 = 0.75 more water than juice.
Therefore, Ed bought 1.25 liters more water than juice is False.

4c) Ed bought 2.25 liters = 2.25 x 1000 = 2250 milliliters of juice.
Thus, Ed bought 2750 - 2250 = 500 more sports drink than juice.
Therefore, Ed bought 50 milliliters more sports drink than juice is False.

4d) Ed bought 2750 milliliters = 2750 / 1000 = 2.75 liters of sports drink.
Ed bought 2.75 - 2.25 = 0.5 liters more sports drink than juice.
Ed bought 0.5 liter more of sports drink than juice is True.

4e) Ed bought 3000 milliliters of water and 2250 milliliters of juice.
Ed bought 3000 - 2250 = 750 more milliliters of water than juice.
Therefore, Ed bought 75 milliliters more water than juice is False.</span>
