-2x+14 is the same as 14 - 2x
Let's say you started off with $14. If you want to buy a soda worth $2, then you have 14-2 = 12 dollars left. If you buy two sodas, then you spend 2*2 = 4 dollars with 14-4 = 10 dollars left.
In general, buying x sodas will cost you 2*x dollars and you have 14 - 2x dollars left over. The x is simply a placeholder for a whole number. For example, if x = 3, then...
14 - 2x = 14 - 2*3 = 14 - 6 = 8
meaning buying 3 sodas cost you $6 and you have $8 left over.
If y is the amount left over, then we can say y = 14 - 2x which is equivalent to y = -2x+14
note: graphing this equation will go through the two points (0,14) and (7,0) as shown in the image below. A graph is handy to help see various points on the line. Each point represents the amount of sodas you can buy (x) and the amount left over in your pocket (y). Keep in mind that neither x nor y can be negative, so it only makes sense to restrict the graph.
The correct answer would be B.
Answer: There are 28.375 grams in an ounce.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Total grams in a pound =454 grams
Total ounces in a pound = 16 ounces
Therefore, 16 ounces = 454 grams
To find grams in an ounce, we need to divide 454 grams by 16, we get
The total grams in an ounce=
∴The total grams in an ounce= 28.375 grams
Hence, there are 28.375 grams in an ounce.
Answer:
EG = 41
Step-by-step explanation:
the 2 base angles are congruent then the triangle is isosceles with the 2 legs being congruent , that is
7x + 9 = 5x + 23 ( subtract 5x from both sides )
2x + 9 = 23 ( subtract 9 from both sides )
2x = 14 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 7
then
EG = 6x - 1 = 6(7) - 1 = 42 - 1 = 41
