5(x-1) + 3 = 13
5x - 5 + 3 = 13
5x -2 = 13
5x = 15
x = 15/5
x = 3
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
                   a = -2
Simplifying 5 + -2(4a + 1) + 3a = 13 Reorder the terms: 5 + -2(1 + 4a) + 3a = 13 5 + (1 * -2 + 4a * -2) + 3a = 13 5 + (-2 + -8a) + 3a = 13 Combine like terms: 5 + -2 = 3 3 + -8a + 3a = 13 Combine like terms: -8a + 3a = -5a 3 + -5a = 13 Solving 3 + -5a = 13 Solving for variable 'a'. Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3' to each side of the equation. 3 + -3 + -5a = 13 + -3 Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0 0 + -5a = 13 + -3 -5a = 13 + -3 Combine like terms: 13 + -3 = 10 -5a = 10 Divide each side by '-5'. a = -2 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Always
Step-by-step explanation:
The rules for positive numbers is that addition and multiplication makes numbers larger. Subtraction and division makes numbers smaller.
Since 12 is a positive number, the result of dividing a positive number by 12 will make it smaller.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
- 22°F
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Morning temperature = 15°F
Change in temperature = fall by 37 degree
The temperature of the end of the day:
Morning temperature + (change in temperature)
Fall by 37° = decrease in temperature by 37° = - 37°
15°F + (-37°F)
15°F - 37°F
= - 22°F
 
        
             
        
        
        
UGH I think I did this before but I totally forgot how to do it. Give me a minute to do some research and remember because I'm about 79% sure I know how to do this!
