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

1 answer:

5 0

Hello there!

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

We need to use the distributive form

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

-6x + 5 - 4x + 4 = -4x - 5x + 3 + 4

-10x + 9 = -9x + 7

Now we can subtract 9 from both sides

-10x + 9 - 9 = -9x + 7 - 9

-10x = -9x - 2

Add 9x to both sides

-10x + 9x = -9x + 9x - 2

-x = -2

We cannot leave it with a negative sign, divide both sides by -1

-x/-1 = -2/-1

x = 2

I hope the steps are clear to understand. If you have any misunderstanding feel free to let me know.

As always, I am here to help!

The attendance at a family reunion was 160 people. This was 125% of last year's attendance. How many people attended the reunion

Alex787 [66]

If you would like to know how many people attended the reunion last year, you can calculate this using the following steps:

125% of last year's attendance is 160 people
125% of x is 160
125% * x = 160
125/100 * x = 160 /*100/125
x = 160 * 100 / 125
x = 128 people (last year)

Result: 128 people attended the reunion last year.

Find the mean of the first 7 odd prime number?

bekas [8.4K]

Answer: 75/7 or 10.71 (rounded)

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = Average

To find the average you should add all the numbers together and then divide it by the amount of numbers.

In this question, the formula is $\frac{n_1+n_2+n_3+n_4+n_5+n_6+n_7}{7}$

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The list of the first 7 odd prime numbers:

3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19

Now, add them together

3+5+7+11+13+17+19=75

Divide the sum by 7

75÷7=75/7=10.71 (rounded)

Hope this helps!! :)

tangare [24]

The equation of a line which has the slope m and passes through the point A(x1,y1) has the formula:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
in your case m= -5 ; A(x1;y1)=(1;-1)
y-(-1)= -5(x-1)
y+1= -5(x-1)
answer is c
