Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

all we have to do is plug in 2 for x into the equation:

-8(2) + 5 -2(2) -4 + 5(2)

-16 + 5 -4 -4 + 10

-11 -8 + 10

-19 + 10

the answer is

-9

to simplify the equation we’ll combine like terms

-8x + 5 -2x -4 + 5x

-10x + 1 + 5x

-5x + 1

now we’ll plug in 2 for x

-5(2) + 1

-10 + 1

the answer is still

-9

Abdul's gas tank is 1/5 full. After he buys 7 gallons of gas, it is 7/10 full. How many gallons can Abdul's tank hold?

eduard

Answer: 14 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the total gallons of gas Abdul's tank can hold <em>x</em>.

Then, based on the information given in the problem, you can write the following expression:

$\frac{1}{5}x+7=\frac{7}{10}x$

Therefore, when you solve for x, you obtain the following result:

$\frac{1}{5}x+7=\frac{7}{10}x\\\\\frac{1}{5}x-\frac{7}{10}x=-7\\\\-\frac{1}{2}x=-7\\\\-x=(-7)(2)\\x=14$
