x = the weight of one steel ball y = the weight of one brass ball 2x + 5y = 13 (2 + 2)x + (5 - 2)y = 12 by solving the above system of equations we find:

x = 1.5 lbs y =2 lbs one steel ball weighs 1.5 lbs.one brass ball weighs 2 lbs.

Simplify 3x + 5 + 7 x - 3 - x + 2​
stira [4]

Before we do this problem, let's go over a little algebra terminology.

The number in front of your variable is called your <em>coefficient </em>and notice that the <em>x</em> at the end of the problem does not have a coefficient.

When that happens, when there is no number in front of your variable, you can put a 1 there to fill that position. So -x can be thought of as -1x.

Next let's change all our minus signs to plus negatives.

So the problem reads 3x + 5 + 7x + -3 + -1x + 2.

Now let's simplify this by combining like terms.

We can combine our "x" terms first.

3x + 7x + -1x simplifies to +9x.

Now, 5 + -3 + 2 simplifies to 4.

So our answer is 9x + 4.

Sam cleaned 1/3 of his house in 50 minutes. How many hours will it take him to clean his entire house?
krok68 [10]
<h3>Answer:  2.5 hours</h3>

This is equivalent to equivalent to 2 hours, 30 minutes.

======================================================

Work Shown:

1/3 of the house = 50 minutes

3*(1/3 of the house) = 3*(50 minutes)

3/3 of the house = 150 minutes

1 house = 150 minutes

-----------

Sam will need 150 minutes to clean the whole house

Divide this over 60 to convert to hours

150 minutes = (150/60) hours

150 minutes = 2.5 hours which is the final answer

-----------

Or you could say the following

150 minutes = 120 min + 30 min

150 minutes = (120/60) hr + 30 min

150 minutes = 2 hr + 30 min

This shows that 2.5 hours is equivalent to 2 hours, 30 minutes.

Find each function value<br><br>1. f(7) if (x)=5x<br><br>2. f(4) if f(x)=3x-1
Inessa [10]

<u>ANSWER</u>

1. \:  \: f(7) = 35

2. \: f(4) = 11

<u>EXPLANATION</u>

To find the value of a function, f(x) at a given value x=a, we plug in x=a into f(x) to obtain f(a) in simplified form.

The first function is

f(x) = 5x

To find f(7), we substitute x=7, into the function.

\implies f(7) =5(7) =  5 \times 7 = 35

The second function is

f(x) = 3x - 1

To find f(4), we replace x with 4 to obtain,

f(4) = 3(4) - 1

f(4) = 12 - 1 = 11
