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>

sarah is taking out 14000 four year new car loan with an apr of 6.75% what is the monthly payment for this loan
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Monthly payment = $18325.6

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

P = 14000

t = 4 years

R = 6.75%

To calculate the monthly payment for this loan, let's use the below formula

Amount = P( 1 + 6.75%/12)^4×12

Amount = 14000(1.005625)^48

Amount = 18325.633 dollars

Monthly payment = $18325.6

In ΔEFG, the measure of ∠G=90°, the measure of ∠E=20°, and GE = 75 feet. Find the length of EF to the nearest tenth of a foot.
LenKa [72]

Answer:80 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of < in a triangle is 180°

<G + <E + <F=180°

90 + 20 + < F = 110

< F = 70°

Using sine rule

sin G\EF = sin F\EG

sin90°\EF = sin70°\75

EF = 75sin90°\sin70°

= 79.81

=80 to the nearest tenth feet.
