What is the answer for -7x= -96

Mathematics
1 answer:
Darina [25.2K]3 years ago
6 0

Hello!

To solve, this, perform the opposite operation of what is being done on both sides. Here, we see x being <u>multiplied</u> by -7. The opposite operation of multiplication is division.

Therefore, to solve this, divide both sides by -7.

-7x = -96

-7x / -7 = -96 / -7

x = -96/-7

When you divide two negative numbers, they become a positive.

x = 96/7

This cannot be simplified further as a fraction, but if you would like the exact decimal, it is about 13.714.

Hope this helps!

For what values of a is the value of the binomial 2a−1 smaller than the value of the binomial 7−1.2a by 7?
Nimfa-mama [501]

ANSWER

a =  \frac{5}{16}

EXPLANATION

We want to find the value of a for which the binomial, 2a-1 is smaller than the value of the binomial 7-1.2a by 7.

This means that, when we subtract 2a-1 from 7-1.2a, we should get 7.

7 - 1.2a - (2a - 1) = 7

Expand:

7 - 1.2a - 2a  + 1= 7

Group similar terms:

- 1.2a - 2a = 7 - 7 - 1

- 3.2a =   - 1

Divide both sides by -3.2,

a =  \frac{ - 1}{ - 3.2}

a =  \frac{5}{16}

What are some equivalent fractions for the problem :<br> 9/2 ?<br><br> Thank you for your time :)
Varvara68 [4.7K]
First, if you convert the improper fraction 9/2 to a mixed number, it will be equal to 9/2.

9/2 = 4 1/2

And if you multiply the top and bottom of a fraction with an integer number, you will have a fraction that is equal to fraction you began with.

I'll use 5 for this example.

9/2 * 5/5 = 45/10

PLEASE HELP WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!!!! Base the question off this info: An experienced cashier at a grocery store takes 2 second
Vesna [10]
You need to use basic algebra for this.
For this I’ll use o as the items and p for the payment. First you need to find out how long it took for all the items to scan, so if it took each item 2 seconds to be scanned you need to times the total number of items (o) by two e.g. o x 2 = 62 items times two seconds which is equivalent to 62 seconds (1.02 minutes) after this step you need to minus the total time it took to scan the items for the transaction time (2 minutes) e.g. 2.00 - 1.02 = 2.58 minutes.

Hope this helped :)
