Which Is A Correct First Step For Solving This Equation? -5(4x-7)+8=3x

Mathematics

nordsb [41]3 years ago

I'm not sure if this is a multiple choice question, so I will just solve the equation.

-5 (4x - 7) + 8 = 3x

-5 (4x + (-7)) + 8 = 3x

1. Distributive Property of Multiplication

(-5)(4x) + (-5)(-7) + 8 = 3x

2. Simplify

-20x + (-35) + 8 = 3x

3. Simplify again

-20x - 27 = 3x

4. Add 27 to both sides and then subtract 3x from both sides to get all the x's by themselves on the same side

-20x - 27 + 27 = 3x + 27

-20x - 3x = 3x + 27 - 3x

5. Simplify

-23x = 27

6. Divide

-23x / -23 = 27 / -23

7. Simplify

Answer:

<h2>x = - 27/23 ≈ -1.17</h2>

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Frequency table for the height of the seedlings,

Height (in inches)        Number of seedlings

          \frac{1}{2}                                      2              

          \frac{3}{4}                                      4

          \frac{5}{8}                                      2

          \frac{7}{8}                                      2

Now we can draw the line plot as attached.

Average height of the seedlings = \frac{2(\frac{1}{2})+4(\frac{3}{4})+2(\frac{5}{8})+2(\frac{7}{8})}{2+4+2+2}

                                                      = \frac{1+3+1.25+1.75}{10}

                                                      = \frac{7}{10}

Answer:

7 quarters and 3 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

x: quarter       y: dime

25x + 10y = 205

x+y=10

y = 10-x

25x + 10*(10-x) = 205

25x+100 -10x = 205

15x = 105

x = 7

7 = 10-7 = 3

The product of seven non-zero factors. of which only three are positive. is
IgorC [24]

The answer is A

Step-by-step explanation: This is one of those sneaky questions where you think there is no definite answer, but don't despair. There is an answer. You have 7 numbers 3 of them are positive which means greater than 0. Let's pick them 345 = 60 That part's easy. Those 3 numbers give a plus result. Now try the other 4 numbers -3 -2 - 1-4 Do you see what's going to happen. You have -3* - 2 = 6 then you get - 1*-4 = 4 All of a sudden you get a positive result 6 * 4 = 24 60 * 24 = 1440 So the answer is any 3 plus numbers multiplied by 4 minus numbers gives a plus result.
