Hayley begins solving this problem by combining like terms. 3x + 5x = 10 Which problem begins the same way? A) 5x = 20 B) 3(x + 5) = 20 C) x 4 = 30 D) 3x - 2x = 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wht is the C option ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what you got there is actually 8x=10, if I'm not wrong. The value of x comes out to be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x/4=30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Divide both sides by 8.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea ik but they are asking what other problem starts out with 8x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is my answer B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm afraid it's incorrect. 3(x+5)=3x+15...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay cn u tell me which one it is..im sort of in a hurry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually I believe all the options to be incorrect, cuz none satisfies the demand of the question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you might want to look up the source.
