What is the value of x in the equation 3x - 4 (2x - 5) = 15

Mathematics

Answer: x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>

3x - 4 (2x - 5) = 15

<u>Expand parentheses and apply the distributive property</u>

3x - 4 · 2x - 4 · (-5) = 15

3x - 8x + 20 = 15

<u>Combine like terms</u>

(3x - 8x) + 20 = 15

-5x + 20 = 15

<u>Subtract 20 on both sides</u>

-5x + 20 - 20 = 15 - 20

-5x = -5

<u>Divide -5 on both sides</u>

-5x / -5 = -5 / -5

\boxed{x=1}

Hope this helps!! :)

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Here is our equation

3x - 4 (2x - 5) = 15

First, we will sue the distributive property to remove the parentheses. The term outside the parentheses is -4, so that is what we multiply the insides by.

3x-8x+20=15

We combine our like terms (our x-values).

-5x+20=15

We subtract 20 from both sides.

-5x=-5

We divide both sides by -5.

x=1

Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D

Tamika wants to double the volume of a square pyramid. What should she do?
ella [17]
To efficiently double the volume of a square pyramid, you need to double the height of the pyramid. 

<span>V = (1/3)Ah where A is the area of the base. If you double the height and leave A unchanged, the volume will also be doubled (replace h with 2h in the formula).</span>

Which functions have graphs that are steeper than the graph of f(x)=−3x^2?
netineya [11]

Answer:

g(x)=−4x^2  and m(x)=4x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A horizontal stretch or shrink happens when you multiply the parent function (in this case f(x) = x²) by a number.  If this number is between 0 and 1, the graph will be stretched horizontally.  If this number is greater than 1, the graph will be shrunk horizontally.  If the number is between -1 and 0, the graph will be stretched horizontally and flipped; if the number is less than -1, the graph will be shrunk horizontally and flipped.

The graphs that are horizontally shrunk are steeper than the others.  This is m(x)=4x^2  and g(x) = -4x^2.

If x varies directly as y, and x=18 when y=6 find x when y= 10!!!!!!
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
First thing you need to do is find your k in y = kx

So to do that insert 18 for x and 6 for y and then solve for k
y = kx
6 = k18
6/18 = k18 /18
1 / 3 = k
k = 1 /3
So now that we know what k is we can find x when y = 10. Once again insert the numbers we know. We know k = 1/3 and y = 10 and we need to find x
y = kx
10 = (1/3)x
3* 10 =  3*(1/3)x
30 = x
x = 30
