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.

The town librarian bought a combination of new-release movies on DVD for $20 and classic movies on DVD for $8. Let x represent t
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

x = 1, y = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Value of new-releases (x) = $20 each

Value of classic (y) = $8 each

Total budget = $500

Equation : 20x + 8y = 500

The librarian wants to purchase maximum DVDs. She can get more DVDs of classic movies for $8 as they are less costly.

Lets assume the librarian buys at least one new-release DVD.

x=1

20x + 8y = 500

8y + 20(1) = 500

y = 60

<em>Therefore, in a budget of $500, the librarian can purchase 60 classic movies and 1 new-release.</em>

<em><u>Subtract 21 from both sides</u></em>

-4x = 87

<em><u>Divide both sides by -4</u></em>

Answer number one asap this is not a joke so please not random cmts thx will report if u do!
STALIN [3.7K]
1. The area of one face of the bar is
.. face area = (50 mm)*(90 mm) = 4500 mm^2
The area of two sides of the bar is
.. side area = (50 mm +90 mm)*(3.5 mm) = 490 mm^2

Together, those areas cover half the bar, so the total paper required is
.. 2*(4500 mm^2 +490 mm^2) = 9980 mm^2 . . . . . . 3rd selection

2. The length of the central rectangle is
.. 8 ft + 6 ft + 10 ft = 24 ft
Its width is 7 ft, so its area is
.. Arect = (7 ft)*(24 ft) = 168 ft^2

Each of the two triangles has a base of 8 ft and a height of 6 ft, so together, they have an area of
.. Atriangles = (8 ft)*(6 ft) = 48 ft^2

Then the total area of the prism is
.. Atotal = Arect +Atriangles
.. = (168 ft^2) +(48 ft^2)
.. = 216 ft^2
