Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>♤ Given Question:-</h3>

To solve for x

<h3>♤ Given Equation:-</h3>

2(x−1)=5(x−2)

<h3>♤ Solution:-</h3>

2(x - 1) = 5(x - 2)

=> 2 × x - 2 × 1 = 5 × x - 5 × 2 [Distributive property]

=> 2x - 2 = 5x - 10 [Simplification]

=> 5x - 2x = 10 - 2 [Bringing like terms on one side]

=> 3x = 8 [Simplification]

$= > x = \frac{8}{3}(ans)$

[In simplest form of improper fraction]

Answer:

D. 24

Explanation:

First you would need to find how many you need for one coat.

400 times 12 = 4,800

(That will give you a little extra paint)

Then just double 12 to get two coats and you would get D.

Can you help me with this?? please explain

Hello!

We separate this into three sections

we are looking for a graph that has a line where x is greater than -3 and less than -2 while the circles not shaded since it does have the or equal to sign

The graphs that have this is the first and the third

Next we can look for the graph that has x greater than or equal to -2 and less than 3 with the one at -2 shaded but the one at 3 not

The graph that follows this is the third graph

The answer is the third one

Hope this helps!

a leaky faucet is losing water and is filling a 5-gallon bucket every 20 hours. At that rate, how many gallons of water will the

Arisa [49]

You can either scale down so you can get to 48 hours or just multiply from 20 to 48 and I'll explain both ways.
Scaling down:
You can find how many hours it takes to get to 1 gallon in the bucket by dividing
20÷5=4; It takes 4 hours to fill it up to one gallon.
You can now divide 48 by 4 to see how many gallons it'll take up to 48 hours.
48÷4=12
Quicker:
Divide 48 by 20;
48÷20=2.4
Now multiply since it filled it up to 5 gallons.
2.4×5=12
It'll fill 12 gallons in 48 hours.
Tell me if this helps!!

-3 + 42 > 3 x > 15 x < 15 x > 13 x < 13

Ilya [14]

Answer:

Where's the x?

I am assuming that the problem must be

-3 + 42 > 3x

if that is true, then

x < 13.

As this statement is, -3 + 42 > 3 is a true statement because -3 + 42 = 39, and

39 > 3 [39 is always greater than 3]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let me know if you need a step by step.
