Solve for x. 8(9x-4)-2=3+2
gavmur [86]
So first you have to move the -2 over to the opposite side.
8(9x-4)=3+2+2
Then you can simplify the right side 
8(9x-4)=7
Then you distribute
8*9x=72x
8*-4=-32
so now you have...
72x-32=7
Then you move the 37 over
72x=39
Then you divide by 72 to isolate x
x=39/72 or x= 13/24 or <span>x=0.54167</span>

Josslyn has nickels and dimes in her pocket. The number of nickels is three more than seven times the number of dimes let d repr
vfiekz [6]
7d+3Explanation

to solve this we need to translate into math terms, so

Step 1

a) let d represents the number of dimes

let n represents the number of nickles

so

re write the expressions

\begin{gathered} number\text{ of dimes=d} \\ seven\text{ times the number of dimes = 7d} \\  \end{gathered}

The number of nickels is three more than seven times the number of dimes in other words you have to add 7 to seven times the number of dimes to obtain the number of nickles

hence

n=7d+3

therefore , the expression for the number of nickles is

7d+3

I hope this helps you

Find the missing side length image below
barxatty [35]

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the Proportional Transversal Theorem, the three parallel lines hat intersects the two transversals, divides the transversal lines proportionally.

Therefore, we would have the following ratio:

28/35 = ?/50

Cross multiply

35*? = 50*28

35*? = 1,400

Divide both sides by 35

? = 1400/35

? = 40
