Answer:

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

-8x+7-x=25

  • First combine like-terms. In this case, both -8x and -x are like-terms.

-9x+7=25

  • Subtract 7 from both sides. This way we will have isolated x, making division easier.

-9x=18

  • Divide both sides by -9. This will solve for x.

\frac{-9x}{-9}=\frac{18}{-9}\\x=\frac{2}{-1}\\x=-2

You are solving for the value of the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.

First, simplify by combining like terms:

-8x - x + 7 = 25

(-8x - x) + 7 = 25

-9x + 7 = 25

Isolate the variable x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First, subtract 7 from both sides:

-9x + 7 (-7) = 25 (-7)

-9x = 25 - 7

-9x = 18

Isolate the variable, x. Divide -9 from both sides. Note that when you are dividing by a negative number, your answer will have the opposite sign of the sign given in the equation:

(-9x)/-9 = (18)/-9

x = 18/(-9)

x = -2

x = -2 is your answer.

The number of traffic violations in a city increased from 12 to 16 in a month.
Stels [109]
The answer is 33%. To work out a percentage increase we work out the increase, so the difference between 12 and 16 is 4. We divide this by the original amount (12) and times it by 100, which gives you 33.333(recurring) which is rounded to 33%. Hope this helps!

Answer:

  (c)  (3, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point E partitions both the x-distance and the y-distance in the ratio 2 : 1. That is, for either the x-coordinates or the y-coordinates, ...

  CE : ED = 2 : 1

Try the answers with the x-coordinates.

  CE : ED = (1 -(-1)) : (5 - 1) = 2 : 4 . . . . incorrect

  CE : ED = (-3 -(-1)) : (5 -(-3)) = -2 : 8 . . . . incorrect

  CE : ED = (3 -(-1)) : (5 -3) = 4 : 2 = 2 : 1 . . . . correct

  CE : ED = (-1 -(-1)) : (5 -(-1)) = 0 : 6 . . . . incorrect

The only viable choice is (3, 3).

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

For a partitioning of m : n, the desired point is ...

  E = (n×C +m×D)/(m+n)

For partitioning of 2 : 1, the desired point is ...

  E = (1×(-1, -3) + 2×(5, 6))/(2+1) = (-1+10, -3 +12)/3

  E = (3, 3)
