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

Please help asap<br><br> ty :)
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

y = 3x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the line is parallel, it has the same slope -- 3

y = 3x + b, sub point (1, 9)

9 = 3(1) + b

9 = 3 + b

b = 9 - 3

b = 6

y = 3x + b -- y = 3x + 6

-25 Points-<br> Find the value of y.<br> Enter a decimal rounded to the nearest tenth.
il63 [147K]

Answer:

y ≈ 4.3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Two secants drawn from outside the circle, then

The product of the external part and the entire secant is equal to the product of the external part and the entire secant of the other secant, that is

3(3 + y) = 2(2 + 6 + 3) ← distribute both sides

9 + 3y = 2 × 11

9 + 3y = 22 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

3y = 13 ( divide booth sides by 3 )

y = 13 ÷ 3 ≈ 4.3 ( to the nearest tenth )

I am between 40 and 80. When my digits are reversed i am another prime number
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

42 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 6 sides on a fair dice, each having a number 1 thru 6 with no numbers repeating and half those numbers being odd, Bridget can expect to roll an odd number 84*(1/2) times. So our answer is 42.

Also, if you could please mark this "brainliest" (the crown) it would help a lot!
