  1. 11x=8x-3(5-2x)

    11x-8x-6x=-15

    -3x=-15

    x=5


  2. there are two correct answers. One is .58 and the other is 1.6. These decimals are rounded because to find an answer you must factor and divide fractions. the two fractions for answers are (sqrt(265) + 35) / 32 and -(sqrt(265) - 35) / 32.

  3. x = 5

  4. x=8x-3(5-2x)

    x=8x-15+6x

    x-8x-6x= -15

    -13x= -15

    x=15/13

  5. I got 5

    11x=8x-3(5-2x)

    11x=8x-15+6x

    11x-6x+8x-15

    5x=8x-15

    15=8x-5x

    15=3x

    x=5

  6. 11x = 8x - 3(5 - 2x)

    11x = 8x -15 + 6x

    11x - 8x - 6x = -15

    -3x = - 15

    x = 15/3

    x = 5
