Simplify expressions/ i need pl -2x - 5(3x - 27)= - 52

Question:

-2x - 5(3x - 27) = -52

Steps:

1. Distribute -5(3x - 27): -15x + 135

2. Put it back in the equation

-2x - 15x + 135 = -52

3. Simplify,

-17x + 135 = -52

4. Then, subtract 135 from both sides

-17x + 135 - 135 = -52 - 135

-17x = -187

5. Then divide both sides by -17

-17x/-17 = -187/-17

6. Simplify

x = 11 < Answer

hope this helped!!!

7 weeks

step-by-step explanation:

convert each fraction to the least common multiple of 20, so 3/4 = 15/20 & 1/10 = 2/20, then divide 15 by 2 and you get a little over 7, so the food will last 7 weeks.

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.
