Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

-15x - 40 = 23 - 8x  

Add 8x to both sides

-15x + 8x - 40 = 23

          -7x - 40 = 23

Add 40 to both sides

                - 7x = 23 + 40

                  -7x = 63

 Divide both sides by (-7)

            x = 63/-7

x = -9

Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

-15x - 40 = 23 - 8x

<em>add 8x to both sides to bring -8x to the left side</em>

-15x + 8x - 40 = 23

<em>add 40 to both sides to bring -40 to the right side</em>

-15x + 8x = 23 + 40

<em>add the common terms</em>

-7x = 63

<em>for x to be alone divide -7 to both sides</em>

x = -9

<em>I hope this helped!</em>

Factor completely by grouping 3u^2+8u-3
stich3 [128]
3u^2+8u-3
with grouping, we have to find 2 numbers which add up to 8 and multiply to 3*(-3)= -9.
testing, we find that 9 and -1 add up to 8 and multiply to -9. 
so now we can write the original equation as 
3u^2-u+9u-3
you can factor the terms in pairs:
u(3u-1)+3(3u-1)=
(u+3)(3u-1)

tigry1 [53]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

5, 10, 0

Discussion:

Let "f" be the first number. Then the questions tells us that

f + 2f  + (f-5) = 15           =>

f + 2f + f - 5 = 15            => add 5 to both sides

4f = 5+ 15 = 20              => divide both sides by 4

f = 20/4 = 5

The numbers as

f:        5

2f:     10

(f-5):  0

Thank you,

MrB
