-2x + 5 < 7
-2x + 5 < 7
<u> -5 -5 </u> deduct 5 from both sides
-2x < 2
<u>÷ -2 ÷ -2 </u> divide both sides by negative 2. Because of the division
x > -1 using a negative number, the sign is then reversed.
from < it becomes >.
The value of x should be greater than -1. It can be 0, 1, 2, so on...
To check: Revert back to the original sign which is <.
x = 1
-2x + 5 < 7
-2(1) + 5 < 7
-2 + 5 < 7
3 < 7
Answer:
Adding the exponents
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiplying exponential terms with the same base
To multiply exponents with same base , we use exponential property

When we multiply exponents with same base then we add the exponents
So, adding the exponents best explains to simplify the expression that has same base with exponents .
Answer:
Option D is correct.
13x = 39
Step-by-step explanation:
The system of equation is given:
....[1]
.....[2]
Multiply equation [1] by 5 to both sides we have;
.....[3]
Using elimination method:
Add [2] and [3] equations to eliminate y and solve for x, we have;

Divide both sides by 13 we get;
x = 3
Substitute x in [1] we have;
2(3)-y = -4
6-y = -4
Subtract 6 from both sides we have;
-y = -10
Divide both sides by -1 we have;
y = 10
⇒Solution: (3, 10)
Therefore, an equation can replace 3x+5y = 59 in the original system and still produce the same solution is,
13x = 39
6x + ( 3x - 9) = 90°( being complementary angles )
6x+3x -9 = 90°
9x = 90° + 9
x = 99 / 9
x = 11
