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

Answer:

1/3 is the simplified form for given expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

=\sqrt[-3]{27}

By simplifying:

Radical sign will be removed as follows:

= 27^{-1/3}

For removing the "-" sign from power, base will be inverted:

= (1/27) ^ {1/3}

27 can also be written as 3 * 3 * 3 = 3^3

So,

= (1/3^3)^{1/3}

= 1^{1/3} / 3^{3* 1/3}

By simplifying we get:

= 1/3

i hope it will help you!

Answer:

  b.  -150

Step-by-step explanation:

We usually take elevation to be positive above sea level, and negative below sea level. If the elevation is below sea level, it is negative. If it is within 200 ft of sea level, the magnitude of the negative number is 200 or less. That is, the elevation must satisfy ...

  -200 ≤ elevation < 0

The only answer choice in that range is -150.

Ethan's elevation in feet could be -150.
