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

Which equations may be used to determine the 3 consecutive integers whose sum is 127?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

a and b.

Step-by-step explanation:

I’ll explain by giving an example.

Let’s say that: a=3;b=4;c=5; => they all are consecutive -> their sum is 12.

=> if we use a) n=3 => 3*n+3=3*3+3=12 => correct.

b) n+(n+1)+(n+2)= 3+4+5=12=> correct.

c)n+2n+3n=3+6+9=18=>incorrect.

d)3n=3*3=9=>incorrect.

1/7 + 6/7 equals1/7 + 6/7 equals
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

7/7 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1/7 is one out of seven part plus 6/7 which is 6 out of seven parts. The denominator does not need to change because it is a common denominator. Just simply add the numerators, 1 and 6 and you get 7. The numerator is divided by the denominator (7/7) which equals to 1.
