107 = 7 - 2(7b - 1) what does b equal?

Mathematics

topjm [15]3 years ago

107 = 7 -2 (7b - 1)

First, distribute -2 to all terms within the parenthesis

-2(7b - 1) = -14b + 2

107 = 7 -14b + 2

Combine like terms

107 = -14b (+7 + 2)

107 = -14b + 9

Isolate the b. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

Subtract 9 from both sides

107 (-9) = -14b + 9 (-9)

107 - 9 = -14b

98 = -14b

Isolate the b. Divide -14 from both sides

(98)/-14 = (-14b)/-14

98/-14 = b

b = −7

-7 is your answer

hope this helps

What are the coordinates of R’, the image of R(-4,3) after a reflection in the line y=x?
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

R'(3,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

When you reflect a point across the line y = x, the x-coordinate and y-coordinate change places

so

The rule of the reflection across the line y=x is equal to

(x,y) ------> (y,x)

we have

R(-4,3) ------> R'(3,-4)

Help finals study guide please I want to just go on break​
timofeeve [1]

Step-by-step explanation:

(note: I'm only answering the ones I know vs giving you wrong answers for the others!)

1. ROS=Obtuse (larger then ninty degrees)

2. octagon has 8 angles (octo means eight, after all!)

3. If a figure has three sides, it is a triagle (not positive on this one)

4. symmetric property of congruence (this one's a simple search :p )

5. N/A (although I believe its angle BEC=124 degrees, as every other choice Is proven to be true)

6. congruent complements theorem (this is because we are given that 3 is a suppliment of 4. we are also given that 2=4. Based on this, then 1=3 is congruent based on 1 being suppliment of 2, 2=4, and 3 being a suppliment of 4)

7. N/A

8. N/A (the picture is too fuzzy for me to make any ideas)

I'm sorry I couldn't solve them all, but I hope this at least gets you somewhere! Have a great day!

Well since the triangle is split into 2 triangles and they both are the same size so BD on the bottom is 15 which means naturally BC must be 30. Five I'm not sure about
