145-10x=10x-35
Add 35 to both sides.
175-10x=10x
Add 10x to both sides.
175=20x
Divide both sides by 20
8.75=x
w-(-3)=7
Pretend that there is a -1 in front of the bracket
w-1(-3)=7
Mutiply the bracket by -1
(-1)(-3)=3
w+3=7
Move +3 to the other side. Sign changes from +3 to -3.
w+3-3=7-3
w=4
Answer: w=4
Use what we know to make equations in order to solve for each governor's salary.
A=governor of state A
B=governor of state B
A+b=283,910. (Their salaries combined)
A=B+50,440 (A earns 50,440 more than B)
Sub A into the original formula to solve for B
B+50,440+b=283,910
2B=283,910-50,440
2B=233,470
B=116,730
Sub B into the formula that's equal to A
A=B+50,440
A=116,735+50,440
A=167,175
I hope this helps!
Answer: 184
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of am arithmetic sequence is calculated as:
Nth term= a+(n-1)d
where a = first term
d = common difference
a = -10
d = -8 -(-10) = -8+10 = 2
98th term= a+(n-1)d
= -10 + (98-1)(2)
= -10 + (97×2)
= -10 + 194
= 184
The 98th term of the arithmetic sequence is 184
