Answer: <u>7</u>

<u />

Explanation:

1. 17 = 3x - 4.

According to the order of operations in algebraic equations, one must first subtract or add any given number to both sides. This is because the main goal when solving is to "isolate" the variable, or in other words keep it "single" on one side of the equals sign.

2. So, next one must add the -4 to both sides (this is because the opposite of -4 is +4 or positive 4)

17 = 3x  - 4

+4         +4

The 2 fours on the right cancel each other out (because -4 plus positive 4 is equal to zero). And when one adds 17 + 4, the equations looks like this:

21 = 3x

3. Now, in order to undo the operation of 3 times x, one must do the opposite of multiplying, which is division. So, one now must divide by 3 one both sides like the following:

21 = 3x

÷3    ÷3

The 3s on the right cancel each other out, and 21 divided by 3 is 7:

7  = x

Thus, 7 is equal to x.

Answer:

<em>x = 7</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

17 = 3X + -4

Reorder the terms:

17 = -4 + 3X

Solving

17 = -4 + 3X

Solving for variable 'X'.

Move all terms containing X to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3X' to each side of the equation.

17 + -3X = -4 + 3X + -3X

Combine like terms: 3X + -3X = 0

17 + -3X = -4 + 0

17 + -3X = -4

Add '-17' to each side of the equation.

17 + -17 + -3X = -4 + -17

Combine like terms: 17 + -17 = 0

0 + -3X = -4 + -17

-3X = -4 + -17

Combine like terms: -4 + -17 = -21

-3X = -21

Divide each side by '-3'.

X = 7

Simplifying

X = 7

Can someone help me understand squares,cubes,and roots with example problems please
erastova [34]

when someone says a number squared or cubed, or to the certain power, it means how many times you multiply the base number by itself that many times, for example

2²= 2 * 2

or 9³ = 9 x 9 x 9

a square root or cube root, is a harder to understand, but still somewhat simple, it basically means how many what number squared or cubed equals this number.

so for example the square root of 9 = 3 because 3 x 3=9

or cube roots for example ∛125= 5 because 5 x 5 x 5

So here is an example one for you. √81.

What is the measure for the following ∠?<br> m∠EOD<br><br> 20<br> 120<br> 140
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Part 1) m∠EOD=20°

Part 2) m∠AOD=80°

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Find the measure of angle EOD

we know that  °

m∠EOD=m∠EOX-m∠DOX

we have

Observing the figure

m∠EOX=140°

m∠DOX=120°

substitute

m∠EOD=140°-120°=20°

Part 2) Find the measure of angle AOD

we know that  °

m∠AOD=m∠DOX-m∠AOX

we have

Observing the figure

m∠AOX=40°

m∠DOX=120°

substitute

m∠AOD=120°-40°=80°

Step-by-step explanation:

find the lowest common multiple of 2, 3, and 5.

That is 30.

So every 30th burger will have all 3 condiments.

100/30 = 3 and 10 left over.

We only care about the 3
