X = 21

To solve the equation, follow these steps.

3(x-7) = 42
Distribute the three into the parenthesis:

3x - 21 = 42
Isolate the variable, x, by first doing the inverse operation: add 21 to both sides to cancel it out

3x = 63
Now to isolate the variable entirely, divide both sides by 3 as divide is the inverse of multiply.

x = 21

To check this, input 21 as x in the equation:

3 (21-7) = 42
Subtract 21 and 7:

3 (14) = 42

42 = 42

Hope this helps!

Answer:

x=21.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you distribute 3 to the parenthesis. You should get 3x-21=42 at this point. Then you add 21 to 42 to get 63. Here you should be at 3x=63. Divide 63 by 3 to get x=3

If you take 32 percent of a number and get 64, then what is that number? In other words, you know that 32 percent of a number is 64 and you want to know what that initial number is. Therefore, the answer to "64 is 32 percent of what number?" is 200, and you can also derive that 32 percent of 200 equals 64.

Triangle ABC has vertices A(–2, –3), B(–5, –3), and C(–4, –2). The triangle is rotated 90° counterclockwise around the origin.
Ulleksa [173]
The rule for this rotation is (x, y) converted into (-y, x). So, to find the answer you would make the y negative and switch the values in the ordered pair. A would be (3, -2), B would be (3, -5), and C would be (2, -4). So, your answer would be B. Hope this helps!
