Remark

One of the things you need to do is learn to read phrase by phrase.

What is the quotient of a number and 7? That meas you have a number, x, and it is divided by 7. What you do that the answer you get is the quotient.

x/7 is what you know so for. Now the first part says you take 12 away from that.

x/7 - 12 is what you have after doing that.

The result you get is - 2

x/7 - 12 = - 2 Add 12 to both sides

x/7 - 12 + 12 = - 2 + 12

x/7 = 10 Now multiply by 7

x = 10 *7

x = 70 <<< Answer the number is 70

I do not understand how I find answers on here
Volgvan
All you have to do is write your question and someone will answer. For example, instead of writing "I do not understand how I find answers on here" you would ask something like what is 9*5? Then 2 people will see your question and answer. There are no pre-recorded answers, everything happens live. Hope this helps!

Five-sevenths of a number is -35. what is the number?
White raven [17]
So lets write this equation out.  Let x be that number we are trying to find. 

So five-sevenths is a fraction that is written like this 

5/7 

when you see the word "of" that means multiplication 

so we can write the full equation. 

(5/7)x = -35 

now we can solve 

Multiply both sides by 7 

5x = -245

now divide by 5 
and we get 

x = -49

What is the slope of the line?
Svetach [21]

Answer:

m = 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope Formula: m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Simply find 2 coordinates and plug them into the formula:

(2, 4) random

(0, -1) y-int

m = (-1 - 4)/(0 - 2)

m = -5/-2

m = 5/2
