Answer: The letter "x" is often used in algebra to mean a value that is not yet known. It is called a "variable" or sometimes an "unknown". In x + 2 = 7, x is a variable, but we can work out its value if we try!

Answer:
The temperature at 9 am = -14.7°F
Between 9am and 12 pm = -14.7 + 17.8 = 3.1°F
Between 12pm and 3 pm = 3.1+5.1 = 8.2°
Between 3pm and 6 pm = 8.2-14.5 = -6.3°F
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
a) 
b) 
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Let the required polynomial be p(x).
We have the relation,  + p(x) = 18
 + p(x) = 18
i.e. p(x) = 18 
i.e. p(x) = 
b) Let the required polynomial be q(x).
We have the relation,  + q(x) = 0
 + q(x) = 0
i.e. q(x) = 0 
i.e. q(x) = 
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
-7/2 or -3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Make the equation first
7x-1 = 5x-8
7 = -2x
-7/2 = x
