Hey there!

-11b + 7 = 40

  • SUBTRACT by 7 on each of your sides.

-11b + 7 - 7 = 40 - 7

Cancel out: 7 - 7 because that gives you 0

Keep: 40 - 7 because it helps us solve for our answer

40 - 7 = 33

  • DIVIDE both sides by -11

11b/-11 = 33/-11

Cancel out: -11b/-11 because it equals 1

Keep: 33/-11 because it gives you -3

33/-11 = 33 ÷ -11 = 3

<h3><u>b</u><u> = -3 </u></h3>

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Answer:

b = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Subtract 7 from both sides</u>

-11b + 7 - 7 = 40 - 7

-11b = 33

<u>Step 2:  Divide both sides by -11</u>

<u />-11b / -11 = 33 / -11

b = -3

Answer:  b = -3

Leena walked 2/3 of a mile What is 2/3 written as a sum of unit fractions with the denominator of nine
aliya0001 [1]
Bear in mind that multiplying anything, and anything whatsoever by 1, has a product of the anything itself.

so, let's multiply 2/3 by 1 then and check about,

\bf \cfrac{same}{same}=1\qquad thus\cfrac{2}{3}\cdot 1\implies \cfrac{2}{3}\cdot \cfrac{3}{3}\implies \cfrac{6}{9}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{now, we can split that and write it as a sum}\implies \cfrac{1+5}{9}\implies \cfrac{1}{9}+\cfrac{5}{9}

How many sides does a regular polygon have with one central of 18 degrees?
Natalka [10]
All of the centra angles in a regular polygon must add up to 360 degrees. Also, because you're told that it is a regular polygon, the "regular" indicates that all of the central angles will be the same. Divide 360 degrees by 18 degrees to get the number of central angles, which is the same as the number of sides. 360/18 = 20. Therefore, the polygon has 20 sides. Hope that helps!

Solve 6 - 2x = 3<br><br> How do I do this?
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

x = 3/2 or 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

6 - 2x = 3

(You have to subtract 6 on both sides so it can cancel out)

6 - 6 - 2x = 3 - 6

-2x = -3

(Now, you divide -2 on both sides to isolate the x)

-2/(-2)x = -3/(-2)

x = 3/2
