Do the Xs have to be the same number
Alexxx [7]3 years ago

You can combine like/similar terms if the number has the same x at the end, or if the like terms are all regular numbers.
Since 16x and -4x both have an x, you can combine them like you usually would.
16x - 4x = 12x
12x = -48
If you want to solve the equation, you’d divide both numbers by 12 to get your singular x value.
x = -4

Hope that helped! :)

Use a Venn diagram to answer the question. A survey of 180 families showed that 67 had a​ dog; 52 had a​ cat; 22 had a dog and a
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

There are 13 families had a parakeet only

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the problem

- There are 180 families

- 67 families had a dog

- 52 families had a cat

- 22 families had a dog and a cat

- 70 had neither a cat nor a​ dog, and in addition did not have a​

 parakeet

- 4 had a​ cat, a​ dog, and a parakeet (4 is a part of 22 and 22 is a part

 of 67 and 520

* We will explain the Venn-diagram

- A rectangle represent the total of the families

- Three intersected circles:

 C represented the cat

 D represented the dog

 P represented the parakeet

- The common part of the three circle had 4 families

- The common part between the circle of the cat and the circle of the

 dog only had 22 - 4 = 18 families

- The common part between the circle of the dog and the circle of the

 parakeet only had a families

- The common part between the circle of the cat and the circle of the

 parakeet only had b families

- The non-intersected part of the circle of the dog had 67 - 22 - a =

  45 - a families

  had dogs only

- The non-intersected part of the circle of the cat had 52 - 22 - b =  

  30 - b families

  had cats only

- The non-intersected part of the circle of the parakeet had c families

  had parakeets only

- The part out side the circles and inside the triangle has 70 families

- Look to the attached graph for more under stand

∵ The total of the families is 180

∴ The sum of all steps above is 180

∴ 45 - a + 18 + 4 + 30 - b + b + c + a + 70 = 180 ⇒ simplify

- (-a) will cancel (a) and (-b) will cancel (b)

∴ (45 + 18 + 4 + 30 + 70) + (-a + a) + (-b + b) + c = 180

∴ 167 + c = 180 ⇒ subtract 167 from both sides

∴ c = 180 - 167 = 13 families

* There are 13 families had a parakeet only

one number is 1 more than 2 times another. if their sum is increased by sevan, the result is twenty six
Lady bird [3.3K]

the numbers are 6 and 13

let x be one of the numbers then the other is 2x + 1

their sum increased by 7 = 26

x + 2x + 1 + 7 = 26

3x + 8 = 26

subtract 8 from both sides

3x = 26 - 8 = 18

divide both sides by 3

x = \frac{18}{3} = 6

the numbers are 6 and (2 × 6) + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13
