3x + 5 = 23
5 more than(addition) 3 times(multiplication) a variable(x) is(equals) 23
(you add 5 to 3x)
If you need to solve for "x", you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation:
3x + 5 = 23 Subtract 5 on both sides
3x + 5 - 5 = 23 - 5
3x = 18 Divide 3 on both sides to get "x" by itself

x = 6
THe LCD is x(x^2 - 4)
so multiplying through by this we get:-
2x(x + 2) + 7x = 5(x^2 - 4)
2x^2 + 4x + 7x = 5x^2 - 20
3x^2 - 11x - 20 = 0
(3x + 4)(x - 5 ) = 0
so x = 5 , -4/3
Its the second choice
$20.25 because 8.50 and 8.50 equal 17 and then subtract 2.00 makes 15, and then add 5.25 and you end up with 20.25
