Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x=20
Reorder the terms:
(2 + 5x) = 3(x + 14)
Remove parenthesis around (2 + 5x)
2 + 5x = 3(x + 14)
Reorder the terms:
2 + 5x = 3(14 + x)
2 + 5x = (14 * 3 + x * 3)
2 + 5x = (42 + 3x)
Solving
2 + 5x = 42 + 3x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.
2 + 5x + -3x = 42 + 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: 5x + -3x = 2x
2 + 2x = 42 + 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0
2 + 2x = 42 + 0
2 + 2x = 42
Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -2 + 2x = 42 + -2
Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + 2x = 42 + -2
2x = 42 + -2
Combine like terms: 42 + -2 = 40
2x = 40
Divide each side by '2'.
x = 20
Simplifying
x = 20
Jack can swim 12 laps in 28 minutes. 28 minutes is 4 times greater than the time it took him to swim 3 laps. With 28 minutes he should therefore be able to swim 4 times as many laps. 3 times 4 equals 12

Answer:
x = -2
y = - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
-5y - 10x = 45
-3y + 10x = -5
------------------------Add
-8y = 40
y = -5
-3(-5) + 10x = -5
15 + 10x = -5
10x = -20
x = -2
Answer
x = -2 and y = - 5
