Seven less than the quotient of a number and 12 is 4 and 3.
Answer:
x = -10
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the equation by simplifying according to PEMDAS. Then use inverse operations to solve.
4(x+5) = 3(x-2) -2(x+2)
4x + 20 = 3x - 6 - 2x - 4
4x + 20 = x - 10
3x = -30
x = -10
(-5, -8)
(x, y)
would be your answer
Okay, the image is a little tough to see, but I believe it looks something like this:
(5² -10 / 17 - 3 * 4) -1
The first step [remember PEMDAS] is parentheses
Next comes Exponents:
(25 - 10 / 17 - 3 * 4) -1
Then Multiplication:
(25 - 10 / 17 - 12) - 1
Then Division [which we can't do yet since it isn't fully simplified], so we skip to Addition... nothing again, then subtraction.
(15 / 5) - 1
Then we can divide:
(3) - 1
Then subtract!
2
The answer to your problem is 2.
Hope that helps!
