Thanks for posting your question here. The answer to the above problem is x = <span>48.125. Below is the solution:
</span>
 x+x/7+1/11(x+x/7)=60 
x = x/1 = x • 7/7
x <span>• 7 + x/ 7 = 8x/7 - 60 = 0
</span>x + x/7 + 1/11 <span>• 8x/7 - 60 = 0
</span>8x <span>• 11 + 8x/ 77 = 96x/ 77
</span>96x - 4620 = 12 <span>• (8x-385)
</span>8x - 385 = 0
x = 48.125

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

x = 48.125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  x+\frac{x}{7}+ \frac{1}{11}(x+\frac{x}{7})=60

We have to solve for x,

Consider the given expression x+\frac{x}{7}+ \frac{1}{11}(x+\frac{x}{7})=60

First solving for brackets, we get,

x+\frac{x}{7}=\frac{7x+x}{7}=\frac{8x}{7}

Put , we get,

x+\frac{x}{7}+ \frac{1}{11}(\frac{8x}{7})=60

Simplify, we have,

x+\frac{x}{7}+(\frac{8x}{77})=60

Taking LCM(7,77) = 77

We have,

\frac{77x+11x+8x}{77}=60

Simplify, we have,

\frac{96x}{77}=60

Multiply both side by 77, we have,

96x = 60 \times 77

96x =4620

Divide both side by 96, we have,

x=\frac{4620}{96}=48.125

Thus, x = 48.125

Option (a) is correct.

Joshua has (10+6a^2-5a) dollars in his savings account. Maranda had (4a^2a+3) dollars in her saving account how much more money
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Joshua has 2a^2 -6a + 7 more than Maranda.

Step-by-step explanation:

Joshua has 6a^2 -5a + 10 dollars and Maranda has 4a^2 + a + 3 to find out how much more money Joshua has we need to subtract the amount he has by the amount of Maranda's account. Since both expressions are pollynomial we'll have to subtract the numbers wich are multiplying the same power, so we do as follow:

6a^2 - 5a + 10 - (4a^2 + a + 3)

6a^2 - 5a + 10 - 4a^2 -a -3

6a^2 - 4a^2 -5a -a + 10 -3

2a^2 -6a + 7

Joshua has 2a^2 -6a + 7 more than Maranda.

y = 2x^2 - 12x + 27

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Distribute the power</u>

NemiM [27]

Answer:

2,5

Step-by-step explanation:

2,5 is just one of the many solutions to this problem. you can just take a random number for x, for example 2. your equation will look like this 3(2)-y=1. now you just solve for y. 3x2=6. 6-1=5. so y=5.
