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
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:
874×1 = 874
874×10 = 8,740
874×100 = 87,400
874×1,000 = 874,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1 : 12 : 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A, G, C represent the ages of Alex, George, and Carl, respectively. We are told that ...
A = G +12
C = 3A . . . . . . . we read this as "3 times as old"; not "3 times older"
A + G + C = 68
Substituting for G and C, we have ...
A + (A -12) +(3A) = 68
5A = 80 . . . . . add 12
A = 16 . . . . . . . divide by 5
The other ages are then ...
G = A-12 = 16 -12 = 4
C = 3A = 3·16 = 48
The ratios are ...
G : C : A = 4 : 48 : 16
G : C : A = 1 : 12 : 4
