Hello! :)
To solve your equation, we will first simplify both sides of the equation
-7 = -1 + x/3
-7 = -1 + 1/3x
-7 = 1/3x - 1
Next, we will flip the equation
1/3x - 1 = -7
Third, we will add 1 to both sides
1/3x - 1 + 1 = -7 + 1
1/3x = -6
Last, we will Multiply both sides by 3
3 * (1/3x) = (3) * (-6)
x = -18 (ANSWER)
That means -18 is you answer
Hope this helped you!

Answer:
It should be B. Positive nonlinear
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
longer leg: 20 in
shorter leg: 15 in
hypotenuse: 25 in
Formulas:
<u>Pythagorean Theorem</u>

c ... hypotenuse
a ... one leg
b ... another leg
Pythagorean theorem is used in right triangles (triangles in which one angle is 90°).
Step-by-step explanation:
longer leg: x
shorter leg: x - 5
hypotenuse: x + 5
To find x (longer leg), let's use Pythagorean theorem.

Now let's factorize to get solutions for x.

First solution:

Second solution:

Since a side of a triangle has to be a positive number, x is equal to 20.
Now let's just substitute x back to get side lengths. From the question the lengths are in inches.
longer leg: x = 20 in
shorter leg: x - 5 = 20 - 5 = 15 in
hypotenuse: x + 5 = 20 + 5 = 25 in
