Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying 5x + -7 = 2x + 8 Reorder the terms: -7 + 5x = 2x + 8 Reorder the terms: -7 + 5x = 8 + 2x Solving -7 + 5x = 8 + 2x Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2x' to each side of the equation. -7 + 5x + -2x = 8 + 2x + -2x Combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x -7 + 3x = 8 + 2x + -2x Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0 -7 + 3x = 8 + 0 -7 + 3x = 8 Add '7' to each side of the equation. -7 + 7 + 3x = 8 + 7 Combine like terms: -7 + 7 = 0 0 + 3x = 8 + 7 3x = 8 + 7 Combine like terms: 8 + 7 = 15 3x = 15 Divide each side by '3'. x = 5 Simplifying x = 5

Sari is teaching her best friend how to factor trinomials with a leading coefficient greater than 1. She starts with the trinomi
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

See explanation

2x^2+5x+3=(x+1)(2x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Make sure that the trinomial is written in the correct order - the trinomial must be written in descending order from highest power to lowest power. In you case, the trinomial must be written as

2x^2+5x+3

2. Decide if the three terms have anything in common, called the greatest common factor or GCF. If so, factor out the GCF. Do not forget to include the GCF as part of your final answer.

In your case, coefficients 2, 5 and 3 do not have common factors, so go to the next step.

3. Multiply the leading coefficient and the constant, that is multiply the first and last numbers together:

2\cdot 3=6

4. List all of the factors from step 3 and decide which combination of numbers will combine to get the number next to x:

6=1\cdot 6\\ \\ \bf{6=2\cdot 3}

5. After choosing the correct pair of numbers, you must give each number a sign so that when they are combined they will equal the number next to x and also multiply to equal the number found in Step 3:

2+3=5

6. Rewrite the original problem with four terms by splitting the middle term into the two numbers chosen in step 5:

2x^2+5x+3=2x^2+2x+3x+3

7. Now that the problem is written with four terms, you can factor by grouping:

2x^2 +2x+3x+3=(2x^2+2x)+(3x+3)=2x(x+1)+3(x+1)=(x+1)(2x+3)

Which shows the correct order of steps in the formation of coal​
just olya [345]

D: Dead plants fall in swamp...

This is the answer because the plants must begin to accumulate in a location, then continue to build tall enough for the rest of the process to continue.

A is incorrect because the plants must die before piling up

B is incorrect because the plants must die and accumulate before compressing

C is incorrect because plants must die before being buried.
