<span>3x-9x+6=20-3x+4x
Combine like terms.
-6x+6=20+x
Bring x over to the left side.
-x -x
-7x+6=20
bring 6 to the right side.
-6 -6
-7x=14
Divide -7 on both sides to isolate x.
x= -2

Answer : 15.75 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: A. There were 500 liters in the tank when the leak started, and it is decreasing by 9 liters per minute.
Step-by-step explanation:
This equation is in the form; y =mx + c.
<em>c</em> in this equation is the value of y when x is at 0.
<em>c</em> in the above formula is 500 which means that the number of litres (y) at zero minutes(x) is 500 litres.
<em>m</em> is the rate of change as a result of a change in x.
<em>m</em> in this equation is -9 which means that the water is reducing by 9 litres every minute (x).
Combine like terms
8x+24=x+5
subtract x from both sides
8x+24=x+5
-x -x
7x+24=5
subtract 24 from both sides
7x+24=5
-24 -24
7x = -19
divide 7 from both sides
7x = -19
7x/7 = -19/7
x= -19/7
