Answer:

x = 41

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we want to find the value of 'x' by isolating it (separating 'x' from all other numbers).

First, simplify the expression by using the <u>distributive property</u>, where you multiply the number outside the brackets with each term inside the brackets.

Then isolate 'x' by doing reverse operations (on both sides) for every number that is on the same side as 'x'. Reverse operations are opposites (addition and subtraction, multiplication and division) and "cancel out" a number, which "moves" it to the other side.

7(x - 5) = 252        Use the distributive property

7x - 35 = 252        Result of 7 times x and 7 times -5

7x - 35 + 35 = 252 + 35        Add 35 to both sides

7x = 252 + 35        -35+35 on the left side cancelled out. Simplify right side

7x = 287        Continue to isolate 'x'

7x/7 = 287/7        Divide both sides by 7

x = 287/7        Left side cancelled out to be 'x'. Simplify the right side

x = 41        Answer

Check your answer:

Substitute 'x' for 41 in the original equation. Then, make sure that the equation is still balanced. Keep in mind BEDMAS order (brackets, exponents, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction).

7(x - 5) = 252

7(41 - 5) = 252        Simplify inside the brackets first

7(36) = 252        Multiply

252 = 252        Same answer

LS = RS

Since left side (LS) equals (=) right side (RS), the equation is still balanced and we got the correct value for 'x'.

Using the quadratic formula to solve x? + 20 = 2x, what are the values of x?
Sergio [31]
I am not sure if the “+” was supposed to go there or if that was just a typo, so I do apologize if this is wrong... but if it doesn’t belong in the equation at all, 20 = 2X is a fairly simply multiplication problem. You are to divide both sides by the 2 and you should get X = 10, because 2 goes into 20, 10 times; and the 2 goes into 2 only once, therefore the 2 now gets cancelled out.

Answer: 20 divided by 2 = 2x divided by 2 is now 10 = X.

Really hope this helps you, have a good day :)

A bag contains 6 yellow marbles and 18 red. If a representative sample contains 2 yellow marbles, then how many red would you ex
kramer

Answer:

6 red marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

We must first find our multiplier since a sample represents a population (the whole thing).

6/2 = 3, so 3 * 2 = 6.

I will use the value of 6/2, aka 3 and use that as my divisor.

18/3 = 6.

Therefore, you would expect to have 6 red marbles.
