Solve for x. Describe the steps taken to find the solution.
3( 4x - 3) + 8 = 2x + 10x -1

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

3( 4x - 3) + 8 = 2x + 10x -1

Distribute

12x - 9 +8 = 2x+10x -1

Combine like terms

12x - 1 = 12x - 1

Subtract 12x from each side

12x - 1 -12x = 12x - 1-12x

-1 = -1

This is true for all values of x

x = all real numbers

x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

step-by-step explanation:

last month maria hiked the 5-mile mountain trail a number of times and she hiked the 10-mile canal trail several times. let x represent the number of times she hiked the 5-mile trail, and let y represent the number of times she hiked the 10-mile trail. if she hiked a total of 90 miles, which equation can be used to find the number of times maria hiked each trail? x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x
