A) -9

-7(x+9)=9(x-5)-14x
-7x-63=9x-45-14x
-45 -45
-7x-18=9x-14x
+7x +7x
-18=9x+7x-14x
-18=2x
(-18)/2=(2x)/2
-9=x

-7(x + 9) = 9(x - 5) - 14x → Given
-7x - 63 = 9x - 45 - 14x → Distributive Property
-7x - 63 = -5x - 45 → Combine like terms (9x and -14x)
-12x - 63 = -45 → Addition property of equality (-7x and -5x)
-12x = 18 → Addition property of equality (Add 63 to both sides)
x = -³/₂ or -1 ¹/₂ or -1.5

Hope it helps.

Write an equation that represents degrees fahrenheit in terms of degrees celsius. let xx represent the temperature in degrees ce

IgorC [24]

As we know Conversion from fahrenheit to celsius is
$F - 32 = \frac{9C}{5}$

We can write it also as

$F = \frac{9C}{5}+32$

F as y and C as x then we can write it as

$y = \frac{9x}{5} + 32$

Which of the following does not belong to the solution set of -3x + 7 < 11?

erik [133]

-3x+7<11

-3x<4

x>-4/3

So anything less than or equal to -4/3 does not belong to the solution set.

With your update:

"The options is 4,-1,-5,and 0"

-5 does not belong to the solution set...
