Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3(x - 7) = -2....distribute the 2/3 thru the parenthesis

2/3x - 14/3 = -2 ....if u want to get rid of the fractions, multiply by the common denominator of 3, and u get :

2x - 14 = -6 ....add 14 to both sides

2x = -6 + 14

2x = 8 ....divide by 2

x = 8/2....reduce

x = 4 <=====

check it..

2/3(x - 7) = -2

2/3(4 - 7) = -2

2/3 (-3) = -2

-6/3 = -2

-2 = -2 (correct)....it checks out :)

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{2}{3}(x - 7) = - 2

Multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction

2(x - 7) = - 6 ← distribute left side

2x - 14 = - 6 ( add 14 to both sides )

2x = 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 4

The first step for solving this expression is to write 6q as a difference.
8q² + 10q - 4q - 5
Now factor out 2q from the first part of the expression (8q² + 10q).
2q × (4q + 5) - 4q - 5
Extract the negative sign from the second part of the expression (-4q - 5).
2q × (4q + 5) - (4q + 5)
Lastly,, factor out 4q + 5 from the expression to find your final answer.
(4q + 5) × (2q - 1) 
This means that the correct answer to your question is (4q + 5) × (2q - 1),, or option D.

Elanso [62]

Answer:

  3

Step-by-step explanation:

Segment BC corresponds to segment DF. The length of BC is the distance between coordinates (0, 2) and (3, 2). These points are on the same horizontal line (y=2), so the distance between them is the difference of their x-coordinates: 3 - 0 = 3.
