You can quiet literally write the question as it is.
The difference of a number x and 2 is 7.
The difference of a number x and 2 can be written as x-2
is can be written as equal or =
This statement can be translated as x-2=7.
It is as simple as that!
Answer:
x = 2 or 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
-13/4 -x= 1/2x -1
Collect like terms
-13/4+1=1/2x+x
Using LCM
(-13+4)/4=(1+2x²)/2x
9/4=(1+2x²)/2x
Cross multiply
9(2x)=4(1+2x²)
18x=4+8x²
Turn into quadratic and solve
8x²-18x+4
Using formulae method
-b±(√b²-4ac)/2a
Where a=8, b= -18 and c=4
(-(-18)±(√(-18)²-4(8)(4))/2(8)
(18±(√324-128))/16
(18±√196)/16
(18±14)/16
(18+14)/16 or (18-14)/16
32/16 or 4/16
2 or 1/4
Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Proof: If a line is parallel to one side of the triangle, then it divides the other two sides proportionally.
6/9 = x/15
9x = 90
x = 10
800
You would multiply 10x80
