7-4x= 31

Bring over 7 to the other side

Positive 7 changes into negative 7

7-7-4x= 31-7

-4x= 24

Divide by -4 for -4x and 24

-4x/-4= 24/-4

x= -6

Check answer by using substitution method

7-4x= 31

7-4(-6)= 31

7+24= 31

31= 31

Answer : C. x= -6

Answer:

C. x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, subtract 7 from both sides:

7 - 4x = 31

7 (-7) - 4x = 31 (-7)

-4x = 31 - 7

-4x = 24

Divide -4 from both sides to isolate the variable, x:

(-4x)/-4 = (24)/-4

x = 24/-4

x = -6

x = -6, or C. is your answer.

How to <br> Write <br> 3/9<br> in simplest form.
White raven [17]
To write it in simplest form, you must find a common factor.

In \frac{3}{9}, 3 is a factor of both 3 and 9

3÷3=1 and 9÷3=3

So \frac{3}{9} =  \frac{1}{3}

\frac{1}{3} is your answer in simplest form.

Solve the equation <br> |x-3| -10=-5
Deffense [45]

Answer:

x=8                     x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

|x-3| -10=-5

Add 10 to each side

|x-3| -10+10=-5+10

|x-3| =5

Now separate into two equations , one positive and one negative

x-3 = 5           x-3 = -5

Add 3 to each side

x-3+3 = 5+3    x-3+3 = -5 +3

x=8                     x=-2

How to solve 76×327 step by step
hram777 [196]

Here's a method that takes advantage of the values of these particular numbers.

... 76 = 80 - 4

so

... 76 × 327 = (80 -4)×327

... = 80×327 - 4×327

Repeated doubling will give us values that are 2, 4, and 8 times 327.

... 2×327 = 327+327 = 654

... 2×654 = 4×327 = 654+654 = 1308 . . . . we'll use this later

... 2×1308 = 8×327 = 2616

We want 80×327, so we can add a zero to the end of this last:

... 80×327 = 26160

Now, we can subtract 4×327 to get 76×327

... 80×327 - 4×327 = 26160 -1308 = 24852 = 76×327

_____

More conventionally, you would multiply every digit of one number by every digit of the other and add the products according to their respective place values.

327 × 076 = (3×0)×10000 + (3×7 +2×0)×1000 +(3×6 +7×0 +2×7)×100 +(2×6 +7×7)×10 +(7×6)×1

... = 0 +21,000 +3,200 + 610 +42

... = 24,852

Note the pattern of partial products here. This is a method taught to/by practitioners of Vedic mathematics, and can be done in your head. At most, you would write down the partial product sums 21, 32, 61, and 42 to keep from having to carry more than one number in your head at a time.
