Answer:
a) x = -1.5
b) x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
For problem a, you can start by subtracting 3x from both sides to gather all the like terms together:
7x + 5 = 3x - 1
-3x -3x
4x + 5 = -1
Next, to get the coefficients on one side, you subtract 5 from both sides:
4x + 5 = -1
-5 -5
4x = -6
Now, you divide by 4 on both sides to isolate x:
x = -6/4 = -1.5 --- > x = -1.5
For problem b, you start by subtracting 3x from both sides(kinda like problem a):
5x + 12 = 3x + 14
-3x -3x
2x + 12 = 14
Next, you can subtract 12 from both sides, isolating the "x term".
2x + 12 = 14
-12 -12
2x = 2
Lastly, you can divide by 2 to get x:
x = 1
You would get the answer of the square root and round the answer to one decimal place, which is the tenth

Answer:
6/10 ; 3/5 (simplified form)
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve, note the decimal place value. Move the decimal point to the right two place values, and set it over 100
0.6 = 60/100
Simplify the fraction. Divide common factors from the numerator & denominator (20 in this case)
(60/100)/(20/20) = 3/5
3/5 is your answer

It isn't because, it isn't consistent, and it doesn't follow any of the other answer choices. :)
