You combine like terms which are -10x and 7x and 1 and 37. Then it becomes -3x=36. x would equal to 36/-3, which is -12.

−10x+1+7x=37

Simplify both sides of the equation.

−10x+1+7x=37

Simplify:

−10x+1+7x=37

(−10x+7x)+(1)=37(Combine Like Terms)

−3x+1=37

−3x+1=37

Subtract 1 from both sides.

−3x+1−1=37−1

−3x=36

Divide both sides by -3.

−3x/−3 = 36/−3

x=−12

An inlet pipe on a swimming pool can be used to fill the pool in 40 hours. The drain pipe can be used to empty the pool in 42 ho

Answer:

Pool will be filled in 280 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Inlet pipe fills in 40 hours = 1 pool

Inlet pipe fills in 1 hours = $\frac{1}{40}$

Drain pipe empty in 42 hours = 1 pool

Drain pipe empty in 1 hour = $\frac{1}{42}$

If both pipes are opened together

then in pool fills in 1 hour = $\frac{1}{40}$ - $\frac{1}{42}$

on simplifying the right side ,we get $\frac{42-40}{(40)(42)}$

= $\frac{2}{(40)(42)}$

= $\frac{1}{840}$

$\frac{1}{840}$ pool fills in 1 hour

1 pool will be filled in 840 hours

$\frac{2}{3}$ pool is filled

empty pool = 1 - $\frac{2}{3}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$

therfore $\frac{1}{3}$ pool will be filled in $\frac{1}{3}$ X 840 =

= 280 hours

i hope this helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

So, with an equation with decimals, we can use the same method we used to clear fractions—multiply both sides of the equation by the least common denominator. Look at the decimals and think of the equivalent fractions. Notice, the LCD is 100. By multiplying by the LCD, we will clear the decimals from the equation.
