When you are doing distributive property, it can only happen if a number or exponent is before the bracket. From this equation, you can solve for x like so:

7(x+5)-x=42

7x+35-x=42 -Using distributive property (Multiplication)

6x=7 -Collecting like terms.

x= 7/6 -The answer.

Therefore x would equate to 7/6.

There are 171 students in seventh grade. How much does money does Mr. Williams need to budget for the museum tickets and parking
Bumek [7]
<span> Here are the steps, you fill in the missing parts.
A. The given ratio is:
2 adults per 9 students or the fraction 2/9
Now put that fraction 2/9=x/171 in other words, how many adults (x) for 171 students?
can you cross multiply and get 9x=342
and solve for x?

How you have the number of students and the number of adults.

B. for food multiply $6 times the total number of people.

C. for tickets multiply 4.50 times the student number and
7.50 times the adult number.

D. for the bus parking fee multiply .04 times you total answer in part C.

Now add up the food, tickets, bus parking and I think you have what Mr. Williams has to budget. </span>

Someone help please i am so bad at point slope stuff
Fynjy0 [20]
<span>1) Write the point-slope form of the equation of the horizontal line that passes through the point (2, 1). y = 1/2x

2)Write the point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through the points (6, -9) and (7, 1). 
m = (-9 - 1) / (6 - 7) = -10/-1 = 10
y + 9 = 10 (x - 6)
y = 10x - 69

3) A line passes through the point (-6, 6) and (-6, 2). In two or more complete sentences, explain why it is not possible to write the equation of the given line in the traditional version of the point-slope form of a line. 

4)Write the point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through the points (-3, 5) and (-1, 4).
m = (5 - 4) / (-3 - -1) = 1/-2
y - 5 = (-1/2) (x +3)
y = (-1/2)x + 7/2

5) Write the point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through the points (6, 6) and (-6, 1).
m = (6-1)/(6 - -6) = 5 / 12
y - 6 = (5/12) (x-6)
y = (5/12)x + 17 / 2

6) Write the point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through the points (-8, 2) and (1, -4).
m = (2 - -4)  / (-8 -1) = 6 / -7
y - 2 = (-6/7) (x + 8)
y = (-6/7)x - 50 / 7


7) Write the point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through the points (5, -9) and (-6, 1).
m = (-9 - 1) / (5 - -6) = -10 / 11
y + 9 = (-10 / 11) (x - 5)
y = (-10 / 11)x -49/11

ASAP!!! ASAP!!! <br> What is the volume of the rock???
STatiana [176]

Answer:

10 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Archimedes, if we place an object in water, the rise of the water in mL will be the volume of the object in cm³.

Without the rock, the water measures 20 mL.

With the rock, the water measures 30 mL.

The change here is 30-20=10, so 10 cm³ is the volume of the rock.

Hope this helped!
