2x + 22 = 4(x + 3)...distribute thru the parenthesis
2x + 22 = 4x + 12...subtract 2x from both sides, subtract 12 from both sides
22 - 12 = 4x - 2x...simplify
10 = 2x...divide both sides by 2
10/2 = x...reduce
5 = x <==
Answers:
22.)D
23.)D
How?
Explaining number 22:
Well, let’s disprove each one of them.
A.) A is saying 6x=7. Even if we simplify that, it wouldn’t make any sense in what we are trying to do. That equation is equal to x=0.86(estimated to nearest tenth)
B.) B says that 6x=3. When we simplify this, we get x=0.5. That isn’t the number we want, so we know B isn’t right
C.) C is equivalent to 2x+2=6. Let’s simplify since it is multi-step.
2x+2=6
2x=6
x=3
Since we want x to be six, this wouldn’t be the answer either.
D.) D is saying 2x=12. When simplified, this becomes x=6. BINGO THERE IS OUR ANSWER
Explaining 23:
For this, I also used process of elimination.
Remember that x is equal to 2.5
A.)
x+3=5.5
2.5+3=5.5
5.5=5.5
That works.
B.)
2x=5
2(2.5)=5
5=5
That works.
C.)
2.5/2=1.25
1.25=1.25
That works
D.)
x-10=7.5
2.5-10=7.5
-7.5=7.5
THAT DOESNT WORK THERE IS OUR ANSWER

Answer: Both the mean and median decreased.
Step-by-step explanation:
The addition of the 500 lb baby elephant will have a huge impact on the mean, since you'll be finding the average (adding all numbers then dividing). So the only logical answer would be the chosen. The median will most likely either decrease or stay the same, but since staying the same isn't an option for the median, it's most likely going to be decrease.
[I do apologize in advance if it's wrong, and next time try submitting work on time :)) Hope I helped!]
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Because firstly, it is increased by 4% but tge same is followed by a 4% decrease. So the final amount will be 1235
