Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

17x + -12 = 114 + 3x

Reorder the terms:

-12 + 17x = 114 + 3x

Solving

-12 + 17x = 114 + 3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.

-12 + 17x + -3x = 114 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 17x + -3x = 14x

-12 + 14x = 114 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0

-12 + 14x = 114 + 0

-12 + 14x = 114

Add '12' to each side of the equation.

-12 + 12 + 14x = 114 + 12

Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0

0 + 14x = 114 + 12

14x = 114 + 12

Combine like terms: 114 + 12 = 126

14x = 126

Divide each side by '14'.

x = 9

Simplifying

x = 9

(3, -5)(0, 4)<br> Write the equation of a line using the point slope formula

Serga [27]

Answer:

y = - 3x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, - 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 4)

m = $\frac{4-(-5)}{0-3}$ = $\frac{4+5}{-3}$ = $\frac{9}{-3}$ = - 3

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, 4) ⇒ c = 4

y = - 3x + 4 ← equation of line

The width of the figure below is 5 units. The perimeter of the figure is 18 units. What is the length of the figure in units?

Talja [164]

The perimeter is all sides length added together. You can make an equation:5+5+x+x where x is the length.
5+5=10 18-10=8 There is two sides so you do eight divided by two
The length is 4

A music store sold a total of 27 used trumpets and clarinets in one month. Trumpets cost $149 and clarinets cost $99. If total s

vodomira [7]

Answer: 16

Solution:

1) Use letters to identify the variables:

Number of trumpets: t
Number of clarinets: c

2) Translate each statement into algebraic (mathematical) language.

2.1) Sold a total of 27 used trumpets and clarinets

=> t + c = 27

2.2) Trumpets cost $149 and clarinets cost $99

Total cost of the trumpets: 149t
Total cost of clarinets: 99c

Total cost = 149t + 99c

2.3) Total sales were $3223

=> 149t + 99c = 3223.

3) State the system of equations:

Equation (1) t + c = 27
Equation (2) 149t + 99c = 3223

4) Solve the system of equations:

4.1) Multiply equation 1 by 149:

=> 149t + 149c = 4023

4.2) Subtract the equation (2) from the equation obtained in 4.1

=> 149c - 99c = 4023 - 3223

=> 50c = 800

=> c = 800 / 50 = 16

5) Verify the solution:

From equation (1) t = 27 - 16 = 11

Total cost = 149*11 + 99*16 = 3223

Now you have a verified answer: they sold 16 clarinets
