Solve the following equations for x

13−(2x+2)=2(x+2)+3x

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the 2 on the right and the -1 on the left: 13 - 2x - 2 = 2x + 4 + 3x

Combine like terms on each side of the equation: 11 - 2x = 5x + 4

Add 2x to both sides, and subtract 4 from each side: 7 = 7x

Divide both sides by 7: x = 7

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions

according to this law, when unemployment goes up by 1%, gdp drops by 2%. in the question, unemployment rate goes from 2% to 5%, meaning unemployment goes up by 3%, so the gdp drops by 6%. thus the effect is a drop in gdp by 6%.
