Answer:

x = -18

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 3 = -21

add 3 to both sides

x - 3 + 3 = -21 + 3

x = -18

sidenote: you can add anything to both sides of an equation, and it'll still be true. for example, 2 = 2, if you add 1 to both sides you get 3=3 which is still true.

Answer:

\huge\boxed{x=-18}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this, we are trying to find the value of x. Basically, x is a placeholder for a number that is unknown. Some number minus 3 is equal to 21.

Our goal is to find x. To do this we want to isolate x on one side of the equation

x-3=-21

Let's add 3 to both sides.

x-3 + 3 = -21+3\\\\-3 + 3 = 0\\\\x = -21+3\\\\x=-18

Hope this helped!

I need this done super fast help!!!! And it has 7 parts so step by step please
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

177 and 178

Step-by-step explanation:

First, the expression for the 2nd mile marker is x+1.

Now, you add x and x + 1 together to get 2x + 1

Next, make 2x + 1 equal to 355

Now subtract 1 and then divide by two on both sides to get x = 177.

This means that the first mile marker is 177 and the next is 178.

Just help, what are the answer, Its due in 15 minutes and yea, ill mark brainliest and dont give me a link saying the answer is
Naddik [55]

Answer:

<h2><u><em>6. </em></u></h2><h2><u><em>   a. 11 and 2/3 yds. squared</em></u></h2><h2 /><h2><u><em>   b. Yes, the volume of the shed is 11 and 1/3 yards squared and what she's trying to put into it is only 10 yards squared, if put in properly, it will be able to fit.</em></u></h2><h2 /><h2><u><em>7. 1,110 in. squared</em></u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

6.

a.

(10/3)*(14/9)*(9/4)

= 11 2/3

b.

Yes, because the volume of the shed is about 11.67 yards long, the 10 yards of wood will fit in the shed.

7.

For this one, we have to break it into two pieces.

(I made them into a small box and and big box)

The measurements of the small box are 7*5*6.

The measurements of the big box are 20*5*9.

Using this information, we can make the following equation and solve it quickly.

(7*5*6) + (20*5*9)

(210) + (900)

1,110

Thus, the volume of this box is 1,110 in. ^2

Solve this system of equations. y = 5x +20 and y = -2x -8
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

y = 0

x = -4

( x, y ) = ( -4 , 0 )

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 5x + 20

y = -2x - 8

Substitute

5x + 20 = -2x - 8

Add 8 on both sides

5x + 20 + 8 = -2x - 8 + 8

5x + 28 = -2x

Subtract 5x on both sides

5x - 5x + 28 = -2x - 5x

28 = -7x

Divide by -7 on both sides

28/-7 = -7x/-7

-4 = x

Now that you have x, you can substitute it in one of the equations that was given to find the value of y.

y = 5x + 20

y = 5(-4) + 20

y = -20 + 20

y = 0

Or....

y = -2x - 8

y = -2(-4) - 8

y = 8 - 8

y = 0

They will both be 0 no matter what

Point form = ( -4, 0 )

Hope this helped
