3x+2(x-5)=20 Simplify this equation by distributing and combining like terms. Then solve the equation

5x = 30

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+2(x-5)=20

to simplify the expression, open the bracket

3x + 2x - 10 = 20

combine like terms

3x + 2x = 20 + 10

add like terms together

5x = 30

to solve the equation, divide both sides of the equation by 5

x = 30 / 5

x = 6

linear pair postulates

dalila is incorrect. the whisker on the left is very long, going all the way out to 5. the whisker goes from 5 to 30, so it has a spread of 25. the rest of the box plot values are closer together, so 5 is an outlier
