Subtracting from both sides leaves you with . Since subtraction can be written as addition (adding the opposite), the addition property of equality. If two expressions are equal to each other and you add the same value to both sides of the equation, the equation will remain equal.
The goal in solving an equation is to get the variable by itself on one side of the equation and a number on the other side of the equation. ... Performing the same operation on both sides of an equation does not change the validity of the equation, or the value of the variable that satisfies it.
For question one.
Substitute numbers for variable
7=m*5+10
fip equation
5m +10=7
now solve for m
subtract 10 from both sides
5m=-3
divide both sides by 5
you end up with a fraction
Answer -3/5
Question 2
perimeter of a rectangle is p=2L+2W
L=length W=width
They are telling you that L=12 and W=5
substitute numbers for variables
p=2*12+2*5
Answer 35
To find the slope, we must put the equation in y = mx + b form, and m represents ur slope.
7x - 2y = 4....subtract 7x from both sides
-2y = -7x + 4 ...now divide both sides by -2
y = (-7/-2)x + (4/-2)
y = 7/2x - 2....now we have it in y = mx + b form, and since m is ur slope, ur slope in this equation is 7/2.
Answer:
-125 is the correct answer
They have $49.00 left for desert because a ticket is $15 for each person 7 and older. So 15 × 3 people = $45.00. $1.50 per slice and they got 4 slices so 1.50 × 4 = $6.00. $45.00 + $6.00 = $51.00. $100 - $51 = $49.00
