Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

4 + -7x + 10 = 15 + -6x + -8

Reorder the terms:

4 + 10 + -7x = 15 + -6x + -8

Combine like terms: 4 + 10 = 14

14 + -7x = 15 + -6x + -8

Reorder the terms:

14 + -7x = 15 + -8 + -6x

Combine like terms: 15 + -8 = 7

14 + -7x = 7 + -6x

Solving

14 + -7x = 7 + -6x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '6x' to each side of the equation.

14 + -7x + 6x = 7 + -6x + 6x

Combine like terms: -7x + 6x = -1x

14 + -1x = 7 + -6x + 6x

Combine like terms: -6x + 6x = 0

14 + -1x = 7 + 0

14 + -1x = 7

Add '-14' to each side of the equation.

14 + -14 + -1x = 7 + -14

Combine like terms: 14 + -14 = 0

0 + -1x = 7 + -14

-1x = 7 + -14

Combine like terms: 7 + -14 = -7

-1x = -7

Divide each side by '-1'.

x =7

Simplifying

x = 7

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

14.3 feet.

14.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem forms a right triangle in which:

The Vertical Leg of the Right Triangle = 3 feet

The Horizontal Leg of the Right Triangle =14 feet

We are to determine the length of the broken part of the tree. This is the Hypotenuse of the Right Triangle,

Using Pythagoras Theorem

Hypotenuse^2=Opposite^2+Adjacent^2\\Hypotenuse^2=14^2+3^2\\Hypotenuse^2=205\\Hypotenuse=\sqrt{205}\\Hypotenuse=14.32\\ \approx 14.3 feet $(to the nearest tenth of a foot).\\Therefore, the lenght of the broken part of the tree to the nearest tenth of a foot is 14.3 feet.

Richie spent $120 on 12 rose bushes and 2 gardenias, while Jim spent it $150 on 10 rose bushes and 10 gardenias. What is the cos
Basile [38]
With the given information, we can create several equations:

120 = 12x + 2y
150 = 10x + 10y

With x being the number of rose bushes, and y being the number of gardenias.

To find the values of the variables, we can use two methods: Substitution or Elimination

For this case, let us use elimination. To begin, let's be clear that we are going to be adding these equations together. Therefore, in order to get the value of one variable, we must cancel one of them out - it could be x or y, it doesn't matter which one you decide to cancel out. Let's cancel the x out:

We first need to multiply the equations by numbers that would cause the x's to cancel out - and this can be done as follows:

-10(120 = 12x + 2y)
 12(150 = 10x + 10y) => Notice how one of these is negative

Multiply out:

    -1200 = -120x - 20y
 +  1800 =  120x + 120y          => Add these two equations together
---------------------------------
600 = 100y

Now we can solve for y:

y = 6

With this value of y known, we can then pick an equation from the beginning of the question, and plug y in to solve for x:

120 = 12x + 2y    =>    120 = 12x + 2(6)

Now we can solve for x:

120 = 12x + 12    =>     108 = 12x

x = 9

So now we know that x = 9, and y = 6.

With rose bushes being x, we now know that the cost of 1 rose bush is $9.
With gardenias being y, we now know that the cost of 1 gardenia is $6.
