X + (2x + 7) = 121 : Write the expression.
3x + 7 = 121 : Combine like terms.
3x + 7 - 7 = 121 - 7 : Isolate x.
3x = 114 : Combined like terms.
3x / 3 = 114 / 3 : Find the value of x.
x = 38 : This is the smaller integer.
(2x + 7) = (2(38) + 7) = 76 + 7 = 83. : Find the value of the larger number by plugging in the value of x to the larger number's quantity.
The larger number is 83, and the smaller number is 38.
1. 2-1+5x4x11
5x4=20
2-1+20x11
20x11=220
2-1+220
2-1=1
1+220=221
2. 14/2-1+3
14/2=7
7-1+3
7-1=6
6+3=9
3. 3x8x2-42+5
3x8=24
24x2-42+5
24x2=48
48-42+5
48-42=6
6+5=11
Answer: 820,000
823,563 rounded to the nearest ten thousand is 820,000
CommentI think you need brackets to clarify what you mean. I think it should be written as
10b/(2b + 8)
If that is the case the reciprocal is
(2b + 8)/10b You just turn everything up side down. There are technical ways of doing this, but the easiest way is just to do what I just did.
Put the numerator in the denominator,
Put the denominator in the numerator.
You could simplify this a bit.
2b/10b + 8/10b
which reduces further.
1/5 + 4/5b
Just to make sure you understand where that b is, I will do this in
Latex.
Alternate answerIf you do mean what your wrote then the reciprocal is 2b / 10b + 8 which is 1/5 + 8 = 8 + 0.2 = 8.2
The 8 has nothing to do with the reciprocal under these conditions.
The answerI have given you all the choices I can think of without going into decimals. If you have choices, please list them under the comments.
