The error is in step 2. if you are performing an operation on one side of the equation, it must be performed on the entire expression. you can’t only divide by 2 on one term, you must do it to everything in the equation. instead, you could add 6 to both sides first, giving you 2x = -4. Then you can divide by 2 on both sides. the answer is -2.

Emmanuel bought 27 lb of potting soil this week. This amount is 5 lb more than twice the amount of potting soil he bought last w
exis [7]

Answer:

Emmanuel purchased 11 pounds of soil last week.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want to find the number of pounds of soil Emmanuel purchased last week, we will have to work backwards.

We know that the amount is 5 lb more than twice the amount of potting soil he bought last week. This info gives us an equation.

2x + 5 = 27, as its twice the amount last week and 5 lbs more. Now we solve.

2x + 5 = 27 | Subtract 5 from both sides

2x = 22 | Divide both sides by 2

x = 11

Answer:

2x^2 - 11x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 + 4x - 3 * (5x - 2)

Distribute -3 between the parentheses like so.

2x^2 + 4x - 15x + 6

And then add like terms 4x and 15x together.

2x^2 - 11x + 6
