Answer: x = -1/2 = -0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

set up an equation

4x + 7 = 5 subtract 7 from both sides

4x = - 2 divide both sides by 4

x = -2/4

x = -1/2 = -0.5

Which expression has a value of 15 when n = 7? 43 minus 5 n 3 n minus 5 6 n minus 28 19 minus StartFraction 28 Over n EndFractio

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

$19-\dfrac{28}{n}$ is the expression with value of 15 when n = 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the expression whose value is 15, substitute the value of n = 7 in each given expression.

Expression 1:

$43-5n$

Substituting the value of n,

$43-5\left(7\right)$

Simplifying,

$43-35=8$

Since the value of the expression is 8 which is not equal 15.

Hence expression $43-5n$ does not have value of 15 when n = 7.

Expression 2:

$3n-5$

Substituting the value of n,

$3\left(7\right)-5$

Simplifying,

$21-5=16$

Since the value of the expression is 16 which is not equal 15.

Hence expression $3n-5$ does not have value of 15 when n = 7.

Expression 3:

$6n-28$

Substituting the value of n,

$6\left(7\right)-28$

Simplifying,

$42-28=14$

Since the value of the expression is 14 which is not equal 15.

Hence expression $6n-28$ does not have value of 15 when n = 7.

Expression 4:

$19-\dfrac{28}{n}$

Substituting the value of n,

$19-\dfrac{28}{7}$

Simplifying,

$19-4=15$

Since the value of the expression is 15 which is equal 15.

Hence expression $19-\dfrac{28}{n}$ has the value of 15 when n = 7.

In Figure 1, the area of square A is 9 square units, the area of square B is 16 square units, and the area of square C is 25 squ

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

C. The sum of the areas of the two smaller squares is equal to the area of the larger square.

Step-by-step explanation:

9 + 16 = 25

36 + 64 = 100

25 + 144 = 169

The relations "less than" and "greater than" can be ruled out. These observations are consistent with selection C.

The triangle area is half the product of the square roots of the squares on the legs, so the areas of the triangles are (respectively) 6, 24, 30. These are not related to the sum of the smaller squares, so the last selection can also be ruled out.
