Let's get the same terms on the same side.
I am going to remove 5x from both sides of the equation by subtracting 5x

5x - 5x<span> -7 = 7x -</span>5x<span> - 17</span>
           -7 = 2x - 17   now lets remove the 17 from both sides
       -7 + 17 = 2x     (why do we add 17?  Think of 2x -17 as 2x +  -17.  Tor remove a negative number we add it.
Now we finally have     10=2x and if we divide both sides by 2

<u>10</u><span>  = </span><u>2x</u><u>
</u>2       2    we get that x = 5
<u />Let's check by substituting 5 in the original equation:
5(5) - 7 = 7(5) - 17
25 - 7 = 35 - 17
<span>18      =       18</span>

What is 9.25 as a present???
Stells [14]

Answer:

925%

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 9.25 by 100/100. Since 100/100 = 1,  only multiplying by 1 and not changing the value of our number.

9.251×100100=925100

925/100 is 925 over 100 and means 925 per 100. 925 "per 100" means 925 "percent" or 925%

9.25 = 925%

MrRissso [65]

Answer:  2, 6

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of two sides must be GREATER than the third side.

RS + ST > RT    and     RS + RT > ST     and     ST + RT > RS

2x + 4x > 12                  2x + 12 > 4x                  4x + 12  > 2x

       6x > 12                          12 > 2x                          12  > -2x

         x > 2                            6 > x                             -6 < x

         2 < x                             x < 6                             invalid

Answer:  2 < x < 6      

Graph:     O----------------------O

yaroslaw [1]
First angle = x
Second angle = x - 42
Sum both complementary angles = 90

x+x-42=90
2x=132
x=66⁰    -  First angle
x-42=66-42=24 
24⁰ - Second angle
