The steps below show the incomplete solution to find the value of x for the equation 5x − 2x − 3 = −2 + 17:

Step 1: 5x − 2x − 3 = −2 + 17
Step 2: 5x − 2x − 3 = 15
Step 3: 3x − 3 = 15

Which of these is most likely the next step?

3x = 5
3x = 12
3x = 18
3x = 45

List the sides of δrst in in ascending order (shortest to longest) if: a ∠r =x+28°, m∠s = 2x+16°, and m∠t = x+12°

Select the lengths in centimeters that would form a right triangle

The monthly texting plan of all star cell is $11 per month and $0.25 per text. the monthly texting plan of top line cell is $14 per month and $0.15 per text. a student wants to set up a system of equations to find the number of texts for which the total monthly cost of the two companies is the same. he uses the variables x and y. he lets y represent the total monthly cost. what will x represent? x = number of texts x = cost of the total number of texts x = total monthly cost x = cost of each text
