Answer: True, False, False, False, False
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
a) 5x - 7(x - 1)
5x - 7x + 7
-2x + 7 ⇒ a = -2, b = 7 <em>One Solution</em>
b) 3(x - 5) - 7
3x - 15 - 7
3x - 22 ⇒ a = 3, b = -22 <em>One Solution</em>
c) 2 - 7x + 3 + 4x
4x - 7x + 3 + 2
-3x + 5 ⇒ a = -3, b = 5 <em>One Solution</em>
d) -3(x - 3) - 1
-3x + 9 - 1
-3x + 8 ⇒ a = -3, b = 8 <em>One Solution</em>
e) -5x + 2 + 2x + 4
-5x + 2x + 2 + 4
-3x + 6 ⇒ a = -3, b = 6 <em>One Solution</em>
7-2=5
17-16=1
You are trying to find the difference that equals 3 and is near those range of numbers.
The numbers are 11 and 14.
You divide 44 by 9 and get 4.89 so u can round up either to the 8 or the 4 is you could get either 4.9 or 5
