We need to solve for x. Let's try problem b:
Let us first combine line terms. 3x and -x as well as 1 and -7 can be combined. Let's do that:
Since this is true, your answer would be:
All real numbers
------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's solve for problem c:
Let's isolate x, so subtract 1 from both sides:
Since x can't have a coefficient, divide both sides by 3:
So, only the value of 14 would make this equation true.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's try problem d:
Let's get our whole numbers on the right side. Add 1 to both sides:
Subtract 4x from the right side on both sides:
Since this is not true, your answer would be:
No solution
Answer:
3/7 / 42.8% chance
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 6 striped balls (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14) and 8 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) solid colored balls. So, 6 / 14 balls are striped.
(6 / 14 = 3 / 7)
this means that the probability of a ball being striped has the odds of 3/7
(3/7 = about 42.8% chance)
Answer:
A 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Parts on the left have the same ratio as parts on the right.
... x/(x+5) = (x -2)/(x +1)
Multiplying by (x+5)(x+1), we get
... x(x +1) = (x -2)(x +5)
... x² +x = x² +3x -10 . . . . eliminate parentheses
... 0 = 2x -10 . . . . . . . . . . subtract x²+x
... 0 = x -5 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
... 5 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 5
