the correct answer is

B)y2 – 5y = 750

C)750 – y(y – 5) = 0

E)(y + 25)(y – 30) = 0

I JUST took the test

The first one is right because if y=25 then25(25+5)=750

Answer:

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the exterior angle theorem, which means the measure of an exterior angle is the sum of its remote interior angles. In this case, this would mean:

x + 72 = 5x

Since this gives us an equation, we can just solve for x:

x + 72 = 5x

72 = 4x

x = 18

Answer

Elena must have substracted 1/2x from both sides of the equation.

Lin must have multiplied both sides of the equation by 2

Explanation

The equation given is

$\frac{1}{2}x+3=\frac{7}{2}x+5$

For Elena to have arrived at

$3=\frac{7}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}x+5$

Then Elena must have substracted 1/2x from both sides of the equation.

That is;

$\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{2}x+3=\frac{7}{2}x+5 \\ \text{Substracting }\frac{1}{2}x\text{ from both sides of the equation will give Elena first step} \\ \frac{1}{2}x+3-\frac{1}{2}x=\frac{7}{2}x+5-\frac{1}{2}x \\ 3=\frac{7}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}x+5 \end{gathered}$

For Lin to have arrived at

$x+6=7x+10$

It shows Lin must have multiplied both sides of the equation by 2

That is;

$\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{2}x+3=\frac{7}{2}x+5 \\ \text{Multiply both sides of the equation by the lowest common mutiple } \\ \text{of the denominator which is 2.} \\ \frac{1}{2}x(2)+3(2)=\frac{7}{2}x(2)+5(2) \\ x+6=7x+10 \end{gathered}$

Can someone help me with this problem://

You can simply collect terms, subtract the constant and divide by the x-coefficient. It is generally considered easier to do those steps if you eliminate fractions first (multiply by 12).

Multiply by 12

... 4(x -1) +3(x +5) = 6

... 4x -4 +3x +15 = 6 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

... 7x +11 = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . .collect terms

... 7x = -5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract the constant 11

... x = -5/7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the x-coefficient

_ _ _ _ _ _ _

Here it is the other way.

... x(1/3 +1/4) +(-1/3 +5/4) = 1/2

... (7/12)x + 11/12 = 1/2 . . add the fractions to finish collecting terms

... x + 11/7 = 6/7 . . . . . . . multiply by 12/7

... x = -5/7 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 11/7

At the third step here, you could subtract 11/12 before doing the multiply. You get the same answer, but you have to do the extra conversion of 1/2=6/12.

7v=2v-20 what is the answer

Ierofanga [76]

7v = 2v - 20

First, subtract 2v from both sides. / Your problem should look like: 7v - 2v = -20
Second, simplify 7v - 2v to 5v. / Your problem should look like: 5v = -20
Third, divide both sides by 5. / Your problem should look like: v = $- \frac{20}{5}$
Fourth, simplify $\frac{20}{5}$ to 4. / Your problem should look like: v = -4

Answer: v = -4
