-7 is the not the solution.

If you plug in -7 into the equation, you get -11, which doesn't equal 17.

<span>8 (1/4x+ 3/4) - 3 = 17
</span>
8 (1/4(-7)+ 3/4) - 3 = 17

8 (-7/4 + 3/4) - 3 = 17

8 (-4/4) - 3 = 17

8 (-1) - 3 = 17

-8 - 3 = 17

-11 \neq 17

Given <span>8(1/4×+3/4)-3=17 and x = -7, check whether -7 is a solution.  Subst. -7 for x:

</span><span>8(1/4(-7)+3/4)-3=17
Mult everything by 4 to eliminate the fractions:

8(-7 + 3) - 3 = 17
Simplify:

8(-4) - 3 = 68   This is false, so x = -7 is not a solution.</span>

Two angles are supplementary. Three times the measure of one angle is 20° more than the measure
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

  50°, 130°

Step-by-step explanation:

All measures are in degrees. Let x represent "one angle". Then the other is (180-x) and we can write the relation ...

  3x = 20 +(180 -x)

  4x = 200 . . . . . . . add x, collect terms

  x = 50 . . . . . . . . . . one angle

  180 -50 = 130 . . . .the other angle

The measures of each angle are 50° and 130°.

How do I do these problems?

For number 1) You need to get m alone, so you must add 4.4 to 2.6.
For number 2) Same thing as #1
For number 3) You must get c alone, you need to divide 10 by 2.5
For number 4) Same as #3
For number 5) You need to get t alone, so you must multiply both sides by 2.5
For number 6) Same as #5
