Answer:

5x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the missing side, add the two sides together and subtract them from the perimeter.

side 1 + side 2

3x + 2 + 8x + 7

combine like terms

11x + 9

Subtract from the perimeter

16x + 4 - (11x + 9)

rewrite as an addition problem, so you need to change the signs inside the parentheses.

16x + 4 + (-11x -9)

Now combine like terms

5x - 5

What is the solution to this equation?<br> 6x + 10 - 2x= 7 + 23

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

$\boxed{x=5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to combine like terms in order to begin simplifying. This is done by subtracting 2x from 6x. Also, add 7 to 23.

6x + 10 - 2x = 7 + 23

4x + 10 = 7 + 23

4x + 10 = 30

Now, you have a two-step equation. Subtract 10 from both sides, and then divide by 4.

4x + 10 = 30

4x = 20

x = 5 is the final answer.

brandon wants to join a video game club. The membership costs $47, and every game that he rents will cost $2.if brandon rents 17

Slav-nsk [51]

If you add $47 to $17 multiplied by two, then the total cost would be $81 because 17 multiplied by two is 34, and 47 added to 34 is 81, so the total amount paid would be $81.
