-9x-9=-2x+5

Then add 9+14

-9x=-2x+14

Then add 2+-9

-7x=14

So x=-2

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

So we are given the equation -3(3x + 3) = -2x + 5 and we are solving for x. We will have to try to get the equation into the form x = _. That would be our answer.

-3(3x + 3) = -2x + 5

Distribute the -3 on the left side.

-9x - 9 = -2x + 5

Add 2x to both sides to get rid of the -2x on the right side.

-9x - 9 + 2x = 5

Simplify.

-7x - 9 = 5

Add 9 to both sides to get rid of the - 9 on the left side.

-7x = 5 + 9

Simplify.

-7x = 14

Divide both sides by -7 to get rid of the coefficient of -7 on the left side.

x = 14 ÷ (-7)

Simplify.

x = -2

The answer is x = -2.

I hope you find my answer helpful. :)

Sum : $(5 x+1)$

Term : 1, $5x$ and $3y$

Product : $9(5x+1),5x$ and $3y$

Factor : 5 and x, 3 and y, 9 and 5x+1

Quotient : $\frac{9(5x+1)}{3y}$

Coefficient : 5 is the coefficient of x and 3 is the coefficient of y.

Explanation:

The expression is $\frac{9(5x+1)}{3y}$

Sum: Sum is the result of addition of terms.

Thus, from the expression,

Sum = $(5 x+1)$

Term : A term is a single number or a variable or a number multiplied with a variable.

Thus, from the expression,

Term = 1, $5x$ and $3y$

Product : Product is the result of multiplication of numbers.

Thus, from the expression,

Product = $9(5x+1),5x$ and $3y$

Factor : The numbers that are multiplied is called a factor.

Thus, from the expression,

Factor = 5 and x, 3 and y, 9 and 5x+1

Quotient : Quotient is the result of dividing two numbers or variables.

Thus, the given whole expression is a quotient.

Hence, Quotient = $\frac{9(5x+1)}{3y}$

Coefficient : Coefficient of a variable is a number multiplied with a variable.

Thus, from the expression,

Coefficient : 5 is the coefficient of x and 3 is the coefficient of y.

Solve the system of equations : y = x/2 , y = -x - 3 . You can use any method you wish for solving systems of equations. Check y

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

x=−2 and y=−1

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem:

Solve y=x2;y=−x−3

Steps:

I will solve your system by substitution.

y=1/2x;y=−x−3

Step: Solve y= 1/2x for y:

Step: Substitute 1/2 x for y in y=−x−3:

y=−x−3

1/2x= =−x−3

1/2x+x=−x−3+x(Add x to both sides)

3/2x = -3

3/2x/3/2 = -3/3/2 (Divide both sides by 3/2)

x=−2

Step: Substitute −2 for x in y=1/2x:

y=1/2x

y=1/2(-2)

y=−1(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

x=−2 and y=−1

Which relation does not represent a function? Question 2 options: A) { (3, 0) (0, 3) } B) { (6, -2) (5, -2) } C) { (3, 4)

Katyanochek1 [597]

C because the x's repeat with the 3 and 3. If the x's repeat it is not a function.

Hope that helps.

Consider the equation 21 = m + 14 1/6. Which step will help to solve this equation? A add 14 1/6 on both sides of the equation.

Furkat [3]

Answer:

B. subtract

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtracting is the opposite of adding which is what is originally in the equation, by subtracting you are canceling out the 14 1/6

N+5n-3c PLS anyone I need this for my test And I need it right now pls

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

I'm assuming this is a combining like terms question, in which case the answer would be 6n - 3c.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm guessing your teacher wants you to combine the like terms, and 1n plus 5n = 6n, minus 3c is the answer, which is 6n - 3c. If your teacher wanted you to solve for each variable, you can't do that because you don't have enough information, and there's an infinite number of solutions.

Hope this helps! Feel free to give me Brainliest if you feel this helped. Have a good day, and good luck on your test. :)
