If -2x +7 = 3x - 8, then x =

Anna11 [10]

-2x +7 = 3x - 8

Move the variable to the left-hand side and change its sign

-2x -3x+ 7 = -8

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

-2x -3x = -8 -7

Collect like terms

-5x = -15

Divide both sides of the equation by -5

A scientist measures the change in the temperature of a chemical solution at the start of the experiment, the solution is at a t

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

The temperature of the solution after 3 hours rounded to the nearest whole degree is -6 C

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the temperature of the chemical solution at the start of the experiment is -14.96 C.

Now, if the temperature increases by 2.9 C each hour,

Then, after 3 hours, the temperature of the chemical solution would have increased by

2.9 C/h × 3 h

8.7 C

Hence, the temperature of the chemical solution would have increased by 8.7 C after 3 hours.

The temperature of the chemical solution after 3 hours will be

-14.96 C + 8.7 C

= -6.26 C

≅ -6 C (to the nearest whole degree)
