Hello!
-3(x - 14) + 9x = 6x + 42
Distribute the coefficient of the parenthesis:
-3(x) - 3(-14) + 9x = 6x + 42
-3x + 42 + 9x = 6x + 42
Combine like terms:
6x + 42 = 6x + 42
Both sides of the equation are the same, therefore:
There are infinitely many solutions.
Set it up in a proportion.
8 (oil)/5 (salad dressing) = x/7
cross multiply to get 11.2
Do you have answer options for this question?
2.5 rounds up to 3. Because the digit after the decimal point is 5 or more.
The area is given by
A = (5 + 2x) * (10 + 2x) - 50
Rewriting we have:
A = 50 + 10x + 20x + 4x ^ 2 -50
Rewriting we have:
A = 4x ^ 2 + 30x
Substituting the value of the area we have:
54 = 4x ^ 2 + 30x
Rewriting:
4x ^ 2 + 30x - 54 = 0
We look for the roots:
x1 = -9
x2 = 3/2
We take the positive root:
x2 = 3/2
Answer:
the value of x is:
x = 3/2
