Answer:

x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation:

-7x-9= 19

We want to solve for x. Therefore, we must isolate x on one side of the equation.

9 is being subtracted. The inverse of subtraction is addition. Add 9 to both sides of the equation.

-7x-9+9= 19+9

-7x= 28

x is being multiplied by -7. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide -7 on both sides.

-7x/-7=28/-7

x= 28/-7

x= -4

Let’s check our solution. Plug -4 in for x and solve.

-7x-9=19

-7(-4)-9=19

28-9=19

19=19

This checks out, so we know our solution is correct.

The solution to the equation -7x-9=19 is x= -4

Factors of -36 are

$=\pm 1, \pm 2,\pm 3,\pm 4, \pm 6, \pm 9, \pm 12, \pm 18, \pm 36$

It is given that , among the factors of , -36 , one factor is 11 less than half of the other factor.

If you will take, $=\pm 1,\pm 3,\pm 4, \pm 9,$ , then you can find such pairs.

miskamm [114]

Answer:

There are 13 pieces of pie left.

Step-by-step explanation:

So there are 3 pieces of apple pie left, there are 4 pieces of cherry pie left, and there are 6 pieces of pumpkin pie left. 3 + 4 + 6 = 13.

3/8 = 3 pieces because each fraction in this one equals one piece. So the numerator is how many left.

1/2= 4 because you just divide 8 by 2.

3/4 = 2 because you can multiply the fraction by 2 and get 6/8. Then the numerator is how many that's left.

I hope I helped.
