3x-7>2
add 7 to both sides: 3x>9
divide both sides by 3: x>9

Basically you just do the opposite of whatever is being done to x. So, first, you would ADD 7 to both sides to cancel it out from the side where x is. Remember: the goal is to isolate x. So, add 7, and you have:

3x - 7 + 7 > 2 + 7

Note that -7 + 7 = 0. So, we have successfully cancelled out that term. Then, just do the rest of addition:

3x > 9

Then, the the 3 is being multiplied to x, and you want to get rid of it on that side. So, you do the opposite of multiplication, which is division. You can divide the inequality by 3 on both sides to get:

3x / 3 = 9 / 3 or:
x = 3.

Note that 3x / 3 is equal to 1x or just x. Here we want that 1 to not get rid of x, because we want to find the value of x.

Remember: isolation of x is what you want. If you need more help/have questions, feel free to tell me.

In 5 minutes a conveyor belt moves 300 pounds of receyclable aluminum from the delievery truck a smaller belt moves the same qua

ladessa [460]

Answer:

It will take 3.214 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, the conveyor belt transports 300 cans in 5 mins and the smaller belt transports 300 cans in 9 minutes.

Thus , the speed of conveyor belt is,

= $\frac{300}{5} = 60 cans per minute$

and of smaller belt is,

= $\frac{300}{9} = \frac{100}{3} cans per minute$

Thus, when both are used together,

conveyor belt will transport (60)(t) cans and smaller belt will transport $( \frac{100}{3})$ (t) cans per minute.

Thus the equation becomes,

$300 = (60)(t) + (\frac{100}{3})(t) = (\frac{280}{3})(t)$

t = $\frac{(300)(3)}{280} = \frac{45}{14} = 3.214 minutes$

What equation will give the perimeter of the figure? HELP HELP HELP

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

(2l + 2w) + (a + b + c)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is

P = 2l + 2w

so if you substitute, it becomes

P = 2(12) + 2(2)

= 24 + 4

= 28

For the perimeter of a triangle the correct formula would be

P = a + b + c

The missing side in the triangle is 3 because 15 - 12 is 3.

If you substitute, it becomes

P = 2 + 3 + 6

P = 11

If we add both perimeters together we get the full perimeter of the figure which is

28 + 11 = 39

I am not sure if you wanted the answer as well but just in case :)
