Translating this word problem into an algebraic equation, we get:
3x - 2/5 = 8/5.
Let's combine the constants: adding 2/5 to both sides of this equation yields
3x = 10/5, or 3x = 2.
Solving for x: x = 2/3
Answer:
1 - x - 2 + 2x = 10x - 25 - x
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the expression: 1 - (x+2) + 2x = 5(2x - 5) - x
Applying the distributive property we get:
1 - x - 2 + 2x = 10x - 25 - x
So, the following equation is the result of that step: 1 - x - 2 + 2x = 10x - 25 - x

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The solution is x = -2, y = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's start with the equation 3x + y = -9
Substitute the y for 5x+7 seen in the second equation
Now you have 3x + (5x+7) = -9
Lets solve:
Let's add the x's
Now we have 8x + 7 = -9
Substracy seven from each side
Now we have 8x = -16
Now let's divide 8 on each side
Now we have x = -2
Now lets plug in -2 to the second equation
The second equation is y = 5x+7
When we plug in -2 we get y=5(-2)+7
We multiply
We now have y = -10+7
Add
y = -3
The solution is x = -2, y = -3
4+4x=20
-4. -4
4x=16
X=4 (hope this helps)
