Answer:

X=6

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x+2)=6x+3x−1

<u><em>Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.</em></u>

5(x+2)=6x+3x−14

(5)(x)+(5)(2)=6x+3x+−14(Distribute)

5x+10=6x+3x+−14

5x+10=(6x+3x)+(−14)(Combine Like Terms)

5x+10=9x+−14

5x+10=9x−14

<u><em>Step 2: Subtract 9x from both sides.</em></u>

5x+10−9x=9x−14−9x

−4x+10=−14

<u><em>Step 3: Subtract 10 from both sides.</em></u>

−4x+10−10=−14−10

−4x=−24

<u><em>Step 4: Divide both sides by -4.</em></u>

−4x / -4= −24 / −4

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:<u>-</u>

<h3>____________________</h3>

5\left(x+2\right)=6x+3x-14

<u>First, we will Add smiler elements: </u>6x+3x=9x

⇢ 5\left(x+2\right)=9x-14

<u>Expand </u>5(x+2)<u> by applying Distributive law: </u>a(b+c)=ab+ac

⇢ 5x+5\times \:2

⇢ 5x+10

5x+10=9x-14

<u>Now, Subtract 10 from both sides :</u>

⇢ 5x+10-10=9x-14-10

⇢ -4x=-24

<u>Divide both sides by - 4:</u>

⇢ \frac{-4x}{-4}=\frac{-24}{-4}

⇢ x=6

Andre draws a tape diagram for 3÷2/3
bija089 [108]

Answer:

No I do not agree with Andre says that 3 divided by 2/3 Solving for 3 ÷ 2/3

3 ÷ 2/3

= 3 × 3/2

= 9/2

= 4 1/2

Therefore, 3 divided by 2/3 is 4 1/2

Andre's reasoning is wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is incorrect

Let's divide and compare the sum

3 : 2/3 = 3*3/2 = 9/2 = 4 1/2

and

There are four 2/3 fractions and one 1/3 fraction

The 1/3 fraction is 1/2 of 2/3 fraction so instead of counting 1/3 as 1/3 it should be counted as 1/2

Oliva is a stockbrocker. She makes 4% of her sales in commission.Last week,she sold $7,200 worth of stocks.
belka [17]

A) Commission made last week is $ 288

B) Commissions earned in a year,treating a year as having exactly 52 weeks is $ 14976

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

From given,

Commission rate = 4 %

Last week,she sold $7,200 worth of stocks

<em><u>A. ) How much commission did she make last week?</u></em>

Therefore,

Commission\ amount = 4 \% of\ 7200\\\\Commission\ amount = 4 \% \times 7200\\\\Commission\ amount = \frac{4}{100} \times 7200\\\\Commission\ amount = 4 \times 72\\\\Commission\ amount = 288

Thus commission made last week is $ 288

B)

Given that,

If she were to average that same commission each week

To find the commissions earned in a year, treating a year as having exactly 52 weeks

Therefore,

commissions\ earned\ in\ a\ year = 288 \times 52\\\\commissions\ earned\ in\ a\ year = 14976

Thus commissions earned in a year,treating a year as having exactly 52 weeks is $ 14976
