3x + 10 = 5(x – 17)
how do i solve this?
any easy examples?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x= 95/2  or  x=47.5  or   47 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 10 = 5(x - 17)

First Step:

multiply and combine the right side (parentheses)

5 times x = 5x         5 times -17 = -85

3x + 10 = 5x -85

Second Step:

Add like terms ----> which is: 3x and 5x -----10 and -85

BUT since you only want one x on one side, you combine x first.

3x + 10 = 5x -85

-5x         -5x

-2x + 10 = -85

NOW

Third Step:     Add the integers---> 10 and -85

you want to get 10 on the same side as the -85, so you subtract it from BOTH sides.

which brings you:

-2x + 10 = -85

       -10    -10

                       

NOW that we've subtracted -10 from -85 it's technically just adding 85 and 10 then putting a negative sign on it.

so now we have:

-2x = -95

Step Four:

divide -2 from each side to get X alone

-2x = -95

-2      -2

ANSWER:

x=47.5

Argyle sells computers. He keeps one
eighth of his sales as a commission.
How much must he sell to earn $500?

Answers

Answer:

Note: I'm assuming that he keeps 1/8 of the money spent for himself.

If this is what the question was asking, then the answer would be:

Argyle must sell $4,000 worth of computers.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we write an equation.

1/8n = $500

Note: n is the variable I'm using to represent the amount of money Argyle must sell to get $500 as commission.

Then, to get the value of n and to get rid of the fraction, we multiply both sides by 8:

1/8n * 8 = $500 * 8

= n = $4000

Therefore, Argyle must sell $4,000 worth of computers to keep 1/8 ($500) as commission.

Answer:

[tex]2x(4x+3)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to factorising this expression is to find the greatest common factor (GCF). For 8x² and 6x the gcf is 2x. So now we divide the 8x² and 6x by the 2x. Which comes out to 4x and 3, these will be inside the parentheses.

So it'll factorise to [tex]2x(4x+3)[/tex] and remember when we are dividing with exponents we subtract the exponents. So [tex]\frac{8x^2}{2x}[/tex] we will divide the coefficients together that'll be 4 and now for the exponents the 2 on the x² minus the 1 on the x will equal 1 so it'll be just x we don't place a one or anything.

Answers

Answer:

132 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

One sit of the 48 degrees is 48 degrees, so that opposite will be the same. Add them up, get 96. There is a full 360 degrees circle, so get 360 and subtract 96 from it, to get 264 degrees. That is the top and bottom angle of the right side, so just divide it in two

Answer:

I think x= 84

if the lines are parallel then the angle should be the same. Because one angle =48° the other side is likely to equal the same. Add 48+48, subtract 180 from your answer and that's how you get 84°. hope this helps

Tyler has a baseball bat that weighs 28 ounces. Find this weight in kilograms and in grams. Explain or show your reasoning. (Note: 1 kilogram 35 ounces)

Answers

Answer:

Weight in Kilograms = 0.8 Kilograms

Weight in grams = 800 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Tyler has a baseball bat that weighs 28 ounces.

a) Weight in Kilograms

From the question:

1 kilogram = 35 ounces

Hence:

35 ounces = 1 kilogram

28 ounces = x kilogram

Cross Multiply

35 × x = 28 × 1

x = 28/35

x = 0.8 kilograms

b) Weight in grams

1 kilogram = 1000 grams

0.8 kilogram = x

Cross Multiply

x = 0.8 × 1000 grams

x = 800 grams

Chad has a bag with 2 mint sticks, 11 jelly treats, and 7 fruit tart chews. If he eats one piece every 4 minutes, what is the probability his first two pieces will be a jelly treat and a mint stick and represent as a percent to the nearest tenth if necessary?

Answers

Answer:

first you add all the candies together to get 20 in the bag

2+11+7=20

jelly treat:

now we divide 11 by 20 to get a decimal

11/20= .55

multiply .55 by 100 to change it to a percentage

.55*100=55

first part of answer: He has a 55% chance of getting a jelly treat

mint stick:

divide 2 by 20 to get a decimal

2/20=.1

change .1 to a percent by multiplying by 100

.1*100=10

Lisa is buying a computer for $1,500. The sales tax rate is 8.5%. Which expression should be used to calculate t, the total cost for the computer including tax?

Answers

Answer:

t=$1627.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

price of computer= $1500

sales tax= 8.5%

Step two

Let us compute the amount in tax

tax= 8.5/100*1500

=0.085*1500

=$127.5

Let the total cost be t

hence

t=1500+0.085*1500

t=1500+127.5

t=$1627.5
