Answer:

x=−11

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x-4)=5(x+2)

Simplify both sides of the equation:

3(x−4)=5(x+2)

(3)(x)+(3)(−4)=(5)(x)+(5)(2)(Distribute)

3x−12=5x+10

Subtract 5x from both sides

−2x−12=10

add 12 to both sides

−2x=22

Divide by -2 both sides

x=−11

Hope this helps.

Answer:

x = -11

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Distribute 3 to the parenthesis and distribute 5 to the parenthesis

3x-12 = 5x + 10

2. Combine like terms (subtract 3x on both sides and then subtract 10 on both sides)

2x = -22

3. Divide both sides by 2

x = -11

A guy walks into the store and steals $100 bill from the register without the owner’s knowledge. He comes back 5 minutes later a

Artemon [7]

The answer is $100
first the guy steals $100 from the owner. Therefore that $100 is a direct loss for the owner.
the same guy comes and pays $100 for goods worth $70. and the balance is paid back to the guy.
So the owner gets 100 and pays back 30 and gives goods worth 70. Therefore that transaction is cancelled as the amounts have been paid and no net effect with that transaction . the owner gets 70 for the goods he sold so that transaction wont lose his money. the fact that the guy paid for the bill with the money he stole isn't relevant here as the transaction has been completed
so the only loss for the owner is the $100 the guy stole at first
answer is $100
