Solve for x.
3(x + 5) - 2(x + 2) = 20

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: 3(x + 5) - 2(x + 2) = 20

Distribute the 3 and -2.

3x + 15 -2x - 4 = 20

Simplify.

x + 11 = 20

Subtract 11 on both sides

x = 9

Your final answer is x = 9.

What is the solution of this system of linear equations 3y=3/2x+6

Answers

Answer:

C.) No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

3y=3/2x+6

Just divide 3 by both sides. 

3/2 divided by 3/1
3/2 * 1/3 = 1/2

y = 1/2x + 2 is the solution

HelpI have a math assignment for you. The property we live on is odd shaped & I'm trying to confirm the properties square footage. I have two different figures. So your assignment, if you wish to do so,(that's from mission impossible) is to determine the square footage of the property.Dimensions are as follows:
East side (Highbury St side) 133.78 ft.
North side (neighbour) 120.00 ft.
South side (laneway) 136.6 ft.
West side 66.1 ft.

Help Please

(NOTE: I hope this is not for legal reasons. if if it is, then don't quote me on this)




if there are 2 right angles (as said in comments, then you can divide the shape into a rectangle and a triangle as sseen in the attachment (not to scale)
we can do this since there are 2 right angles in the places mentioned in the comments (NE and NW
then find the areas of each
(the right angles. are in yellow ink)
area of rectangle=legntht times widht
legnth=120
width=66.1
area=120 times 66.1=7932


find the area of the triangle so we see that we can find the height of the triangle by subtracting 66.1 from 133.78 to find the triangle's height
height=67.68
legnth is the same
area of triangle=1/2 times base times height
base=legnth=120
height=67.68
area=1/2 times 120 times 67.68=4060.8
now add the areas together


rectangle=7932 ft^2 or square feet
triangle=4060.8 ft^2

rectangle+triangle=whole=7932+4060.8=11992.8 ft^2

answer is 11,992.8 ft^2 or 11,992.8 square feet

(01.02) The number of roses (r) in a garden increases when the number of weeds (w) decreases. Write the correct equation for this scenario, and solve for the number of roses when there are 5 weeds.

Answers

Answer:

-1w=1r

If there are 5 fewer weeds, there will be 5 more roses

Step-by-step explanation:

The question states that the roses increase when the weeds decrease.

A data set consists of the following data points:(2, 12), (3, 7), (5, 4)

The slope of the best-fit line is -2.5. Find the y-intercept of this line.

A. 14
B. 13
C. 15
D. 16

Answers

Since the slope of the line is already given, by plotting the three points and drawing a best fit line using the given slope and extending the line to hit the x-axis, the y-intercept can be determined. Line-fitting tools can also be used; common scientific calculators have that feature.
So, the answer is D. 16
