3(n - 5) = 24
Distributive property
3*n = 3n
3*5 = 15
3n - 15 = 24
+ 15 +15
3n = 39
3n/3 = 39/3
x = 39/3
x = 13
Answer: x = 13
-x-5
- -5x^2 - 3
or
(-x-5) - (-5x^2 - 3)
First, distribute the -. So then it becomes
-x - 5 + 5x^2 + 3
Since you can't add 5x^2 to -x. You can only combine -5 and 3.
Thus it becomes
- x + 5x^2 -2
However, you order in exponents so
5x^2 - x - 2
would be the correct answer.
I don’t know got a message but she’s like actually i
X=3 is the answer I think
