2.5(12.75x + 24.50) = 188.75 1. Simplify both sides of the
equation
(remove parentheses
and/or combine like terms).
2. Use inverse operations and
properties of equality to
"undo" what is happening to
the variable. (use the
reverse order of operations
because we are undoing)
3. Check your answer by
substituting your answer
into the original equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, in order to get rid of the parenthesis, you need to multiply 2.5 with whatever is in the parenthesis.

Multiply 2.5 on each side of the equation like this:

(12.75 x 2.5) (24.50 x 2.5) =188.75

Once you're finished, you should get 61.25 and 31.875x =188.75

Now in order to find 'x' you will need to subtract 61.25 to each side of the equation like this:

61.25 - 61.25 = 0

188.75 - 61.25 = 127.5

So now your equation should look like this:

31.875x = 127.5

You have to divide 31.875 by each side now.

Once you divide them, your final answer should be 4.

so x = 4.

I really hope this helps! ^^

an advantage of the standard deviation is that it increases as the dispersion of the data increases. e. the interquartile range is preferred when the data are not skewed or no have outliers. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it uses all the observations in its computation.

5x+40

5(x + 8)

7x - 49

7(x - 7)

18x + 9

9(2x + 1)

15x - 10

5(3x - 2)

step-by-step explanation:

for number one all you have to do is factor 5 out of 5x + 40

for number 2 factor 7 out of 7x - 49

for number three factor 9 out of 18x + 9

for number four factor 5 out of 15x - 10
