3x+7= x-1 does x = -4?

Mathematics

Subtract x from both sides:
(3x - x) + 7 = (x - x) - 1

3x - x = 2x:
2x + 7 = (x - x) - 1

x - x = 0:
2x + 7 = -1

Subtract 7 from both sides:
2x + (7 - 7) = -7 - 1

7 - 7 = 0:
2x = -7 - 1

-7 - 1 = -8:
2x = -8

Divide both sides by 2:
2x / 2 = -8 / 2

2 / 2 = 1:
x = -8 / 2

The gcd (greatest common denominator) of 8 and 2 is 2:
-8 / 2 = 2(-4) / 2x1 = 2/2 x - 4 = -4

x = -4

Cameron ran 3.8 miles per every 1.9 miles that Samantha ran and if Samantha and 7.6 miles how far did Cameron run
bija089 [108]
3.8 / 1.9 = x / 7.6....3,8 miles to 1.9 miles = x miles to 7.6 miles
cross multiply
(1.9)(x) = (3.8)(7.6)
1.9x = 28.88
x = 28.88 / 1.9
x = 15.2 <== Cameron ran 15.2 miles

PLEASEEEE HELP THANK YOU!!!
Temka [501]

Answer:

- 4 < x ≤ 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 10 ≤ - 5x + 25 < 45 ( subtract 25 from all 3 intervals )

- 35 ≤ - 5x < 20

Divide all 3 intervals by - 5, reversing the inequality signs as a consequence.

7 ≥ x > - 4

Hence - 4 < x ≤ 7
