Answer:

$\sf D.\;\;x=2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf 3x + 2 = 7x - 6$

Subtract 2 from both sides:-

$\sf 3x+2-2=7x-6-2$

Simplify:-

$\sf 3x=7x-8$

Subtract 7x from both sides:-

$\sf 3x-7x=7x-8-7x$

Simplify:-

$\sf -4x=-8$

Divide both sides by -4:-

$\sf \dfrac{-4x}{-4}=\dfrac{-8}{-4}$

Simplify:-

$\sf x=2$

What is the value of expression of -5 square -3

Elanso [62]

Answer:

-0.008

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there,

When you have a negative exponent, it tells us how many times to multiply the reciprocal of the base. For example, this problem tells us to multiply the reciprocal of -5 (which is - $\frac{1}{5}$ ) three times since the exponent is -3. As a final solution, you should get -0.008.

Hope this explanation helps. Cheers.

The difference of the squares of 2m and 7n

hram777 [196]

Answer:

$2m^{2} -7n^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

When you see the word "difference," it means you'll be subtracting. "The square of" means you have to square the term after. So, your equation should end up being $2n^2-7n^2$
