Type the correct answer in each box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar(s).
Consider the equation below.
–2(bx - 5) = 16
The value of xin terms of b is
The value of x when bis 3 is

If b is 3, x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(3x-5)=16

use distributive property

-6x+10=16

take 10 away from both sides

-6x=6

divide both sides by -6

x=-1

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
