For the first one,
you multiply 5x and -5 to get -25.
Then you move the constant to the right and change the sign to get 3x= -21 +25.
Calculate the sum of -21+25 to get 4.
Divide both sides of the equation by 3 to get x=4/3.
So then your final answer is x=4
——
3
For the second one,
Distribute 7 through the parentheses to get 14x + 14+8=120
The you add 14+8 to get 22. Your equation should be 14x+22=120
Move the constant to the right side and change its sign to get 14x=120-22
Subtract 120-22 to get 98. Now your equation should be 14x=98
Divide both sides of the equation by 14 to get x=7.
Your finial answer for the second one should be x=7.

I hope this made sense.
Answer:
A.
Step-by-step explanation:
2/hour
2×4 hours =8 dollars ;
Then 3x(because we dk the time taken, so replaced by x and then times 3)
Equation =8+3x
Answer:
The required equation is
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
The Initial value of poster = $ 18
After 1 year amount of increase = $ 20.70
With the rate of 15% = 0.15
Let future value is y and the number of years be x.

Now verify this by substituting x=1 in above equation.

Which is true.
Hence, the required equation is
.
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
x² + 2x + 1 = 2x² - 2 ( subtract x² + 2x + 1 from both sides
0 = x² - 2x - 3 ← in standard form
0 = (x - 3)(x + 1) ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1
x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3
-----------------------------------
(b)
-
=
( multiply through by 15 to clear the fractions )
5(x + 2) - 2 = 3(x - 2) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
5x + 10 - 2 = 3x - 6
5x + 8 = 3x - 6 ( subtract 3x from both sides )
2x + 8 = - 6 ( subtract 8 from both sides )
2x = - 14 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = - 7
--------------------------------------------
(c) Assuming lg means log then using the rules of logarithms
log
⇔ nlogx
log x = log y ⇒ x = y
Given
log(2x + 3) = 2logx
log(2x + 3) = log x² , so
x² = 2x + 3 ( subtract 2x + 3 from both sides )
x² - 2x - 3 = 0
(x - 3)(x + 1) = 0
x = 3 , x = - 1
x > 0 then x = 3
