Answer:
write the equation as a binomial
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Distributive Property: a(b + c) = (a*b) + (a*c)
2x - 4(x - 3) = -8 + 5x - 8
2x + x * (-4) - 3*(-4) = -8 + 5x - 8
2x - 4x + 12 = -8 + 5x - 8
2x - 4x - 5x + 12 = -8 - 8
-7x + 12 = -16
-7x = -16 -12
-7x = -28
x = -28/-7
x = 4
The answer would be c. 3 (x+5) because you would add x and 5 to get the base of the rectangle then multiply it by the hight (3)
