Step-by-step explanation:
LM = MN
11x - 21 = 8x + 15
x = 12
LM = 11(12) - 21 = 132 - 21 = 111
MN = 8(12) + 15 = 96 + 15 = 111
LN = 111 + 111 = 222
Answer: Choice B)
2x+5(2x+3) = 3
============================================
Reasoning:
We start with the second equation 2x+5y = 3
Since y = 2x+3 from the first equation, we can replace every copy of y with (2x+3). This replacement is valid because y and 2x+3 are the same.
So that's how we go from 2x+5y = 3 to 2x+5(2x+3) = 3
This replacement is done to get rid of the y variable, and it allows us to solve for x later on.
