Answer:
x = 
or 
Step-by-step explanation:
First, combine like terms. Like terms are terms with the same amount of the same variable.
(2x + 3x) - 7 = 42
5x - 7 = 42
Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. PEMDAS is the order of operations, and stands for:
Parenthesis
Exponents (& roots)
Multiplications
Divisions
Additions
Subtractions
~
First, add 7 to both sides of the equation:
5x - 7 (+ 7) = 42 (+ 7)
5x = 42 + 7
5x = 49
Next, divide 5 from both sides of the equation:
(5x)/5 = (49)/5
x = 49/5
x = 9.8
-1/7 is the correct answer for slope
Answer:
31/35
Step-by-step explanation:
= 62/70
= 62 ÷ 2/70 ÷ 2
= 31/35
Sense there's only a y, you'd assume y is 1 or 1y.
you'd make the 1 a negative 1 to get rid of the subtraction sign.
you'd add together the 2 ys making it 2y. then add -1 + 3, which would be 2.
so, the answer would be 2y + 2.
The circumference of the top of the cake is 
in.
It sounds like the baker is trying to line the circumference with cherriesto fit as many as possible along the border, like in the picture I've attached below.
This comes down to dividing the cake's circumference by the diameter of each cherry:
or about 39 cherries, making the answer D.
