Answer:

-7x + 14 = 56

Subtract 14 both sides

-7x + 14 - 14 = 56 - 14

-7x = 42

Divide both sides by -7

(-7x)/(-7) = 42/(-7)

x = -6

To solve for x, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation:

-7x + 14 = 56 Subtract 14 on both sides

-7x = 42 Divide -7 on both sides to get "x" by itself

x = -6

Shannon is selling boxes cookies and candy for a fundraiser. She's sold each box of cookies for $5.25. She also sold one one box

defon

Answer:

The minimum boxes of cookies is 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of boxes of cookies sold

y ----> the number of boxes of candies sold

we know that

The word "at least" means "greater than or equal to"

The inequality that represent this problem is

$5.25x+8.75y\geq 200$

The solution is the shaded area above the solid line $5.25x+8.75y=200$

using a graphing tool

The solution is the shaded area -----> see the attached figure

Find out the minimum boxes of cookies needed to sell to reach the goal

assuming only cookies are sold

For y=0

$5.25x+8.75(0)\geq 200$

$5.25x\geq 200$

solve for x

$x\geq 38.1$

Round up

therefore

The minimum boxes of cookies is 39

Solve x2 - 8x - 9 = 0. Rewrite the equation so that it is of the form x2 + bx = c.

barxatty [35]

Answer:

x=9,-1 and $x^2+(-8)x=9$

Explanation:

we have been given with the quadratic equation $x^2-8x-9$

we compare the given quadratic equation with general quadratic equation

general quadratic is $ax^2+bx+c=0$

from given quadratic equation a=1,b= -8,c= -9

substituting these values in the formula for discriminant $D=b^{2}-4ac$

$D=(-8)^2-4(1)(-9)=100$

Now, to find the value of x

Formula is $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{D}}{2a}$

Now, substituting the values we will get

$x=\frac{-(-8)\pm\sqrt{100}} {2}= \frac{8\pm10}{2}=9,-1$

And rewritting the given equation by shifting 9 to right hand side of the given equation and taking minus inside the bracket so as to convert it in the form of

$x^2+bx=c$
