Answer:

  k = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distributive property to eliminate parentheses. That property tells you that the outside factor multiplies each term inside parentheses:

  -3(k -8) -(k +5) = 23

  -3k -3(-8) -k -(+5) = 23

  -3k +24 -k -5 = 23 . . . . simplify

  -4k +19 = 23 . . . . . . . . . collect terms

  -4k = 4 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 19 from both sides

  k = -1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide both sides by -4

_____

The rule for manipulating equations is, "any operation performed on one side of the equation must also be performed on the other side." Operations include addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, application of a function. Using the distributive property and collecting terms are ways to simplify equations that don't affect the truth of the equal sign (if those are done correctly).

In general, you make use of inverse operations to undo the operations you don't want. The goal is to get the variable by itself on one side of the equal sign.

Answer:

k = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(k-8)-(k+5)=23

Distribute

-3k +24 -k-5 = 23

Combine like terms

-4k +19 = 23

Subtract 19 from each side

-4k +19-19 = 23-19

-4k = 4

Divide by -4

-4k/-4 = 4/-4

k = -1

7 − 9x − (x + 12) less than or equal to 25?
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

x  ≥-3

Step-by-step explanation:

7 − 9x − (x + 12) less than or equal to 25

7 − 9x − (x + 12) ≤ 25

Distribute the minus sign

7 − 9x − x - 12 ≤ 25

Combine like terms

− 10x −5 ≤ 25

Add 5 to each side

− 10x −5+5 ≤ 25+5

− 10x ≤ 30

Divide by -10. Remember that this flips the inequality

− 10x/-10 ≥30/-10

x  ≥-3

On Monday, Raven ran 2 3 4 miles; Tuesday, 2 3 5 miles; Wednesday, 2 1 2 miles; Thursday, 2 5 8 miles; and Friday, 2 7 10 miles.
mr_godi [17]
Raven ran the farthest on Friday because even though all mixed fractions have the same whole number which is 2, 7/10 is higher than all fractions so 2 7/10 is higher than all which makes it the answer.
